An Italian English dictionary and a few useful Italian phrases will help you out during your Italian travel. The best way to jump start your full immersion in Italian culture is to learn a little Italian at home before your trip. It will turn out to be very useful to order a meal, to sing opera, to find your way to that charming little hilltop town and, once back home, to impress your friends when you dine out. A free on line language course will boost your communicating skills. If your thirst of knowledge goes beyond the basic, you can learn Italian in Italy.
If you are already fluent and you are blessed with an adventurous mind you might be interested in the various dialects spoken in Le Marche. In fact you can say that every town has its own language, they differ not only for the accent but also for the word roots. After all Italy became a nation only in 1861 and was linguistically united only by television! Every summer in Varano (Ancona) is held a festival of vernacular theatre.
The ticket includes dinner but it is so popular that you must arrive early if you want to find a seat.
