Cioccolato, Amore e Torino - An Italian Graded Reader for B1 Intermediate Learners
Learn Italian through story, culture, and context-not endless exercises.
Marie has built a new life in Florence, where she runs an artsy jewelry café and found love with Francesco. But during a trip to Turin, Italy, an unexpected discovery changes their plans.
Marie falls in love again-not with another man, but with Turin itself.
Elegant cafés, artisan chocolate, art, innovation, and the energy of this northern Italian city awaken a new dream: could Turin be the perfect place for their second café?
Cioccolato, Amore e Torino is an engaging Italian graded reader for intermediate learners (B1 CEFR and above), designed to help you improve your Italian naturally through story, context, and repetition.
Inside you'll find:
- 7,000+ words of accessible intermediate Italian
- Italian-English vocabulary lists
- Natural dialogue, everyday expressions, and Italian idioms
- Chapter summaries and exercises to reinforce comprehension
- Cultural insights into Turin, Italian cafés, chocolate, art, and everyday life
- Language notes to help you sound more natural in Italian
- Free Italian audio narration to practice listening and pronunciation
Perfect for B1 Italian learners progressing toward B2, self-study students, adult learners, and anyone looking for Italian short stories for intermediate learners.
Written by an experienced Italian instructor with over 10 years of teaching experience, Cioccolato, Amore e Torino combines Italian reading practice with romance, culture, and a new adventure in one of Italy's most fascinating cities.
Book 2 of Le Città di Marie, a graded-reader series following Marie through Italy-one city, one story, and one Italian adventure at a time. Each book can also be enjoyed as a standalone story.
Read. Listen. Explore Turin. Improve your Italian.
