We’ve teamed up with Dr. Claudio Mazzola (featured photo), Associate Teaching Professor in Italian at the University of Washington in Seattle to teach our next Italian language class onsite! From Milan, Italy, Dr. Mazzola teaches multiple levels of Italian, including this fall with Elementary Italian and Italian Society in Film and Literature at UW. Dr. Mazzola received his “Laurea” in English from the University of Milan in 1981, and also has a degree in cinema studies from the City University of Milan. He went on to receive a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from the University of Washington in 1986, and is a published writer in these topics.
