Rezensionen

'Soluzioni is a very well structured textbook. Covering all grammatical functions in an exhaustive manner, it is the most thorough and detailed grammar book I have ever seen in the market. The online quizzes strengthen the practice already present in the text. The answer keys are crucial and definitely a useful addition.'
