with Francesca Sangiorgi Romanoski. Francesca is from
Milan. She received a B.S. from the International School
for Interpreters and Translators in Milan. She has taught
at the Berlitz Language School in Kuwait and the Wall
Street Institute in Milan. She worked for 20th Century Fox
in Milan translating voice-overs and movie subtitles.
Francesca likes to use visual cues, pictures and props to
help beginners learn Italian. “When I see students
express themselves in my language, for me it is a feeling
like nothing else!”

Level II - III, Tuesdays, 5:30 - 7:00 p.m,
with Davida Gavioli. Davida is from Milan too. She
graduated from the University of Bergamo in Italy and
earned a PhD from Penn State University. She has taught

cultures that occurs during class and believes that no
Italian course is complete without an Italian/Indian feast at
her house.

Student comments about
the Italian classes:

"I've accomplished more than
I thought possible."

"Davida is a great teacher --
innovative and she has a
great sense of humor. She
goes out of her way to assist
each student."

"I enjoy the school and the
atmosphere."
Davida Gavioli instructs students how to make gnocchi in
her Waterville kitchen. Davida hosts a gourmet pot-luck
Italian/Indian meal each semester! Her husband Das makes a
