Percorsi italiani. Senti che Storia! Libro + CD

This book takes students on a fascinating journey through 150 years of Italian history and society: from the Unification in 1861 right through to the 21st century! 10 chapters – each based on a particular period of Italian history – begin with an iconic Italian song from the era. This is followed by factual articles and information about each period along with stimulating activities for comprehension and written and spoken production. The main themes and social issues that characterise each period are also discussed in the context of today's Italy, enabling students to gain a broader understanding of Italy's history and culture in a light and entertaining way. The songs selected for each unit not only follow a chronological order but also demonstrate a gradual linguistic progression from CEFR level A2 to B2, allowing students to develop both their historical understanding and their linguistic capabilities. The book includes an audio CD containing the songs, the tracks for the listening activities and interviews. Supplementary resources are also provided online.
