Knowledge of Italian is essential for the study of history, literature, music, art, business, economics, and political science. Italy is home to a rich heritage of Western culture and since the Middle Ages has been a world leader in literature, architecture, painting, sculpture, and music. More than 60 million people speak Italian, and with Italy as one of the top ten economies in the world many companies are seeking people who are fluent in Italian.
