WELCOME

Just a few lines to welcome all my new students at the Liceo Linguistico and Liceo Classico! I'm full of "great expectations"! (find where this quotation comes from...)

For a soft start, you'll find a list of novels I recommend. You "should" read them during the last three years of the Liceo (either Classico or Linguistico). Anyway, we will talk about it in class.
Have fun, and please come to class full of enthusiasm!
