Letteratura italiana per stranieri aims to help Italian language students learn more about and better understand Italy. The volume is a history of Italian literature, a collection of literary texts from the very origins – in the 1200s – all the way to the present day. The texts are accompanied by a reading guide, analysis and lots of points to consider.

The volume – which includes an audio CD – is divided into eight chapters, eight modules, each of which introduces a certain period and some of the protagonists together with their works. It also includes files on art and music and, from the 1900s, some files on cinema and singer-songwriters.

The volume is completed by a series of materials that are available online:

- Supplementary texts. Extra texts on an author, always accompanied by a reading guide and analysis of the work.

- Detailed study texts. Extra texts for those who wish to learn more about a certain author, historical context, literary movement.

- Self-evaluation tests. Eight tests, one per chapter, aimed exclusively at allowing students to evaluate what and how much they retain at the end of each module.

- 25 audio tracks. Professional actors interpret some famous poems that are proposed in the volume. The audio CD is attached to the book, but you can also download the MP3s in the “material for teachers and schools” and “material for students” sections
