You can take only one Italian language course at the Language Center, regardless the course duration, type and period (intensive/biannual, in person/online). Therefore, if you have already attended an Italian course at the CLA, your enrollment will be blocked and you will not be able to attend another course.
Only political refugees, students of “Medicine and Surgery”, “Scuola Galileiana”, “Languages, Literature and Cultural Mediation” and students that have to pass Italian A2 TAL for their study plan, may take more than one Italian language course.
