The Cultural Association \u201cChiacchiere\u201d (literal translation: small talk, translators note) was created thanks to the collaboration of language tutors teaching Italian for foreigners. Our school is situated in the heart of the island of Ortigia, within a stone\u2019s throw of Piazza Duomo. Ortigia is the historical area of the city of Syracuse. Here, the Greek coming from Corinth settled down to give life to one of the greatest and richest cities of the past.<\/p>\n
