The Pirandello Institute has long been a dream of Vita Mesnick.
Dreams come true every day but, what does it take for dreams to become reality? Love, patience and a lot of dedication. The Pirandello Institute is the fruit of Vita’s passion, effort and commitment. We offer classes, workshops, and lectures in Italian language and culture to adults and children whose roots are Italian and those who have a love for Italy, Italian literature, cuisine, and music.
Our Classes
Classes in Italian language, grammar, conversation, literature, and culture begin every 8 weeks. We also offer Italian for Children!

Private and semi-private lessons can be arranged, as well as classes via FaceTime.
The next session begins March 4, 2024!
