A complex transnational space rich with linguistic and social diversity, Italy has always been at the center of exchanges between different cultures. From Dante's Divine Comedy to Elena Ferrante's novels, from the invention of opera to cinematic Neorealism, from Renaissance art to Futurism, Italian cultural production contributed to unique innovations in the artistic, social, and political spheres. Today, the study of Italian language, literature, and culture is a gateway into both a centuries-long humanistic tradition and contemporary issues of global significance (such as migration, climate change, and relation between politics and media). <br><br>At Northwestern University, alongside two years of proficiency-oriented language training, students explore Italian history, culture, and society from the Middle Ages to the present day. The program offers a six-quarter long language sequence taught by trained experts, and a variety of courses (in English and Italian) exploring Italian culture taught by scholars in Italian Studies, Comparative Literature, Cinema and Media Studies. Recent offerings include courses in medieval and modern Italian literature, Italian cinema in a global perspective, critical theory, visual studies, and fashion studies. Courses in fields related to Italian studies and offered by different departments may count toward requirements for the major.
