Dear student or friend of La Scuola,

For some years Scuola di Lingua e Cultura Italiana has used the book Studio Italiano, by Maria Rita Francia Biasin, as a textbook for beginning and intermediate classes. The first edition of that book, which most of our students use, is now out of print. A new edition is available, but we don't want to mix students using different editions of the book in the same class.

So, as a temporary solution, we are asking ex-students, advanced students, or anyone who has a copy of Studio Italiano who no longer wants the book to sell us their copy. If you would like to receive $20 for your old edition of Studio Italiano, bring it to the school on Saturday between 10:30am and 12:30pm, during the school year.

You can also drop the book off at the office of Leo Pagani, the school administrator to receive the $20. The location, open during business hours, Monday through Friday, is 90 17th Ave, San Mateo, 94402. You can call for information at (650) 574-3089.

Alternatively, you can mail the book to the office at 90 17th Ave, San Mateo, 94402 and we will send you an additional $5 for postage, for a total of $25.

La Scuola would also graciously accept a donation of the book, if you prefer. Just mention the donation when you return the book.

A photo of the book is attached. Thank you very much and we hope to see you at La Scuola or at one of our events.

Cordiali saluti,
Scuola di Lingua e Cultura Italiana
