language schools in Taormina or Arezzo
Hi. I'm planning to go to Italy for a month in late October thru early
November. Can't decide between two schools: Babilonia in Taormina, Sicily, or Culturala Italiano in Arezzo. Would love to hear from anyone who has attended either of these schools in Oct. or Nov. and can tell me what the weather will be like this time of year. Thanks! |

Ciao, Julia!
Alhough I don't know anything about the language schools, I have been in both Arezzo and Taormina in October. The weather in Taormina was uncomfortably hot (perhaps a freak ocurrence that late) and in Arezzo divine. I would choose on the basis of where you would like to be: Taormina gives you fantastic ruins with a very strong sense of all the different cultures and civilizations that have bootstepped their way across the island over the centuries. And the cuisine, of course, is very different from la cucina Toscana. Fish, pine nuts, raisins, a true tradition of sweets (ice cream was supposedly "invented" in Sicily) and some of the best pizza I've ever eaten--on a tiny street in the Jewish quarter. Arezzo gives you the true Tuscan experience and is very well located for all kinds of side trips--Pienza, Montepulciano, Siena, etc. |
