Popis: The pandemic due to Covid-19 ushered Italian universities into the world of digital education, with geography being one of the disciplines that derived multiple benefits from a worldwide, technological transition. Our contribution focuses on the Turin experience of Cultural Geography teaching for the degree-courses of Languages and Cultures for Tourism (Undergraduate course) and of International Communication for Tourism (Master's degree-course). It highlights how the combined use of Moodle, WebEx, Google Earth, and Instagram stimulated an interest in a traditionally neglected subject, but also offers food for thought on the use of the same technologies in teaching Italian language, through geography, in US universities.
