Matteo La Grassa is a researcher at the University for Foreigners of Siena with experience of
teaching Italian as a foreign language in various state and private establishments. He is involved in
several areas of research relating to the teaching of Italian as a foreign language and to the creation
of educational material. He has produced educational material as part of the University for
Foreigners of Siena’s Language and Citizenship projects: Insegnamento di italiano L2 per cittadini
stranieri (awarded the European Language Label 2010) and Lingua italiana e comunicazione
bancaria (awarded the European Language Label 2009).
I would like to thank Professor Andrea Villarini for writing the preface to the book, where he painted a clear
and concise picture of the current general state of the Italian language.
I would also like to thank all the students and the university course leaders who allowed me to try out the
activities contained in this book, thereby making it possible for me to make any necessary adjustments.
Finally, my sincere thanks go to the editorial team at Edilingua for its careful proofreading and, more generally,
for its constant constructive support.
