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.

Abstract
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.
