Graded Italian novels · A1 to A2
Italian novels you can't put down — at your level.
Every night at two, the guest in room 6 goes out with a violin case. Tonight he does not come back. Short, adult Italian stories built for learners, with every new word in bold, a glossary and three questions after each chapter.
The level ladder
How it works
Choose a level
Each book stays inside the words and grammar of one level. You follow the story without a dictionary.
Read the chapter
Short chapters, each ending on a question. New words are in bold and explained in easy Italian.
Check the glossary
The meaning of every bold word, chapter by chapter. Then three quick questions, answers at the back.
Turn the page
The same cast moves from A1 to A2 and beyond. One more chapter. In Italian.
Rome, after midnight
Giulia runs Pensione Aurora, a six-room guesthouse in Trastevere. Her younger brother Tommi is the night porter and notices what guests try to hide. Every book brings a new guest with a secret, from Rome to Naples and Bologna. Each book is a complete story; together they form one long novel.
