The course introduces students to twentieth-century Italian literature through the theory of the avant-garde.
The main topics of the course are the Futurists, Hermeticism, Expressionism, Neorealism, the New Avant-garde and Postmodernism, to conclude with the Neo Avant-garde and the '63 Group. Within a didactic itinerary on the European 20th century, literary texts will be analyzed as a product of the factors of the culture of the period, as the place where these factors converge.
When you purchase a lesson package, the AEF Academic Secretariat will customise your timetable to offer you a tailored learning experience. The school arranges session times flexibly, matching your availability with the tutor's to ensure you get the best learning experience in Florence.
Organizational Note: Depending on the course type and the package purchased, the school may combine the individual 45-minute lessons into a single, more structured study session (for example, 2, 3 or 4 lessons combined into a single meeting lasting from 90 to 180 minutes). Consequently, the frequency and length of individual appointments may vary from week to week, without affecting the total number of lessons included in your package.
If you need to reschedule or cancel a lesson, please let us know by email or at the welcome desk by 4:30pm the day before, and we'll arrange a new time together. Lessons cancelled after this time, or missed without notice, cannot be made up.
