I'm locked into a program in Viareggio on the coast near Pisa, East of Liguria. Thank you for your advice however. I'm sure it will help others, and Emilia Romagna is next on my list! Thank you.I did a 10-day immersion with Luisa in Bologna—small group, tons of conversation, and great cultural extras. If you lean toward Emilia Romagna, it’s a perfect fit for both language and food lovers!
