Overview

You’ll be encouraged to immerse yourself in Italian literary and cultural history and to question many of the stereotypes that continue to circulate, in America but also in Italy, about that very history. This bachelor degree in Italian is offered by Cornell University.

Italian is the language of everything from one of the most vivid imaginings of the afterlife (Dante’s Divine Comedy) to one of the most vibrant immigrant communities in modern North America. It’s also the language of espresso and Chianti, prosciutto and ricotta. Whether you’re interested in exploring the culture responsible for this formidable culinary legacy in the world, or whether you’re curious to learn more about the rich poetic tradition that Italian’s unique musicality has made possible; whether you’re drawn to Italy’s films, its operas, its landscapes, its cities, or its saints—our Italian program has something to whet your appetite.
