New York University’s Department of Italian Studies is the largest free-standing Italian department in North America, with faculty expertise that includes a range of historical periods and methodologies, spanning from medieval literature to neorealist cinema. Students can take courses in topics such as Renaissance epic, Futurism, literary translation, avant-garde literature, opera, Italian American culture, and Dante’s Divine Comedy. Classes are conducted in both Italian and English. We offer one-on-one faculty advising for students who choose to present their work at our annual undergraduate research symposium. Majors and minors are encouraged to enrich their studies by spending at least one semester at NYU’s breathtaking Florence campus. Our department is located in Casa Italiana Zerilli-Marimò, which is a historical landmark and has established itself as the main hub for Italian culture in New York. Through film screenings, lectures, concerts, art exhibits, and more, our students benefit from the programming at Casa Italiana. Additionally, the weekly Italian Club meetings offer a great opportunity for students to practice their Italian and to find community amongst their peers.
