Italian civilization needs no presentation, as its present and past artistic, poetic and cultural achievements passionately engage with the major questions of today’s world. Italy boasts the largest number of UNESCO sites: from Roman and Greek heritage to Medieval architecture, from the stunning achievements of the Renaissance to the the charm of its cinema. Italy’s controversial modern politics and its history of a migrating nation all contribute to the allure of a civiltà that is not only the cradle of Western Civilization; but also a place of encounter for cultures, people and ideas. Located in the heart of the Mediterranean sea, Italy plays today a key role in the challenging negotiations between Europe, Africa and the Middle-East.

At Babilonia, students can take classes of Italian language and culture while viewing the astonishing beauty of the Sicilian landscape, tasting the finest Italian food, sunbathing on the wonderful seaside or enjoying live music and theatre in the evocative Ancient Greek Theatre of Taormina.

CILS Exam Practice Tests (Esempi Prove di Esami)
Along the right hand column of this page, under the heading “LEGGI”, is a list of assessments from past CILS exams that cover all categories and levels.

To enroll in an Italian university, a passing score of CELI 2 or CILS Uno- B1 is required (both of which are equivalent to the CEFR B1 level).
CELI Impatto (CEFR A1): Level of contact can be defined in terms of introductory competence relative to memorized routines. Candidates can respond to simple questions and talk about themselves, their homes, and their families. They are able to understand and use everyday expressions to satisfy concrete needs.
CELI 1 (CEFR A2): The test taker has developed the linguistic skills that are necessary for them to begin to engage in social life and work, in a context where they have to express themselves in Italian. Test takers are capable of exchanging basic information about themselves, their families and their work in areas of immediate relevance and describe situations and events even in the past using simple terms.
CELI 2 (CEFR B1): The test taker has developed the linguistic skills to be able to handle themselves in largely predictable situations within social life and work, in a context where they must express themselves in Italian. Test takers are capable of interacting within the realm of situations and subjects that are familiar and of interest. They are also able to express hopes and dreams in a simple manner, concisely state reasons and give explanations.
CELI 3 (CEFR B2): The test taker must have developed the language skills to not only comfortably face travels in Italy but also the ability to work and sign up for courses of study in Italian.
