Italian
Knowledge of the Italian language affords
access to one of the West's richest cultural traditions as
well as to one of Europe's most vital contemporary
societies. Italian is a primary language for research
in art history, music, philosophy, literary studies, and
archaeology. Italian literature, and more recently
Italian cinema, is widely admired. The strong position
of contemporary Italy in the area of design and fashion
makes Italian language ability vital to those engaged in
business and trade.
