Artelingua was born in Umbria, the green heart of Italy — a region that invites you to slow down, observe, and experience an authentic relationship between culture, place and community.
Here, language intertwines with history, traditions, landscape and everyday life.
Umbria is not just a location, but an open space for learning and encounter, which Artelingua values as a context for experience and shared knowledge.
Artelingua is a cultural project rooted in academic experience and developed through educational, creative and relational practices. It brings together university research, language teaching, cultural design and international connections, with constant attention to people and the contexts in which it operates.
Elisa specializes in foreign language teaching and holds a degree from the University for Foreigners of Siena. She is an experienced teacher of Italian as a second language.
From 2008 to 2012, she collaborated on the e-learning program of the University for Foreigners of Perugia, dedicated to online Italian language teaching.
She has published several studies in the field of language education and coordinates educational and cultural programs for international universities and cultural institutions.
She is a CELTA-certified English teacher.
In 2012, she founded Artelingua, creating an innovative and passion-driven educational project.
Born and raised in Australia, Kelly has an innate passion for travel and
discovering new cultures, which has led her to explore the world.
After more than 25 years of high-level experience in the private sector, she chose to change paths to pursue her desire to teach English.
A TEFL-certified teacher, thanks to her cross-disciplinary skills she is able to understand the needs that arise in different cultural contexts and make them available to her students.
A kind of teaching that becomes a life experience.
Among her major works is La Bohème (mentioned by The New York Times), created on commission for Opera Ireland: an opera inspired by the award-winning film Bohème at Maiano Prison, Spoleto.
Porzia works on and directs several Community Theatre projects and is a visiting lecturer at the University of Limerick.
She is currently the Artistic and Creative Director of the International Court of Freedom.
She is the creator of the project L’Inglese Va al Teatro (English Goes to the Theatre), implemented in schools and funded by local companies. Porzia is also a teacher of English as a second language and an tireless researcher.
Alessia holds a degree in Linguistic and Cultural Mediation and later in Strategic Communication. She teaches Italian, Spanish and French and works in translation, content adaptation and multilingual communication, where she combines writing, creative vision and attention to cultural contexts.
In her projects and in the classroom, she brings careful attention to linguistic and intercultural nuances, developed through academic training and experiences of studying and living abroad.
