“At last! Here is the book that takes care of the writing issues that teachers of Italian know all too well. From the difference between prossimo and dopo, and bene and buono, to stylistic and syntactical choices, this text teaches students to move away from Anglicisms at both vocabulary and structural levels, and into real Italian. Scrivi bene! is indispensable for students and teachers.”

“A wonderful textbook for students learning to write in Italian! The vocabulary building sections, the exercises aimed at correcting mistakes commonly made by English speakers, as well as the 'Controllo finale' section are great tools that guide students towards more correct and harmonious Italian compositions.”
