Format, the 72/120 written mark, the 22/40 oral, and the one-year carry-over are on the CELI 2 page.
Quick Answer
CVCL does not assign you a seat from a single global inbox — you pick one of the authorised centres, file registration there, and pay the fee that centre publishes under its CVCL agreement. The official registration page hosts two downloads (centres in Italy and centres abroad); use those PDFs rather than random address lists. CELI 2 i cittadinanza sessions on the calendar are Italy-only. Candidates who sit in Perugia at the Università per Stranieri follow the separate “exam in Perugia” path linked from that page instead of the generic mail-in pattern described for other centres.
What the centre controls
- Fee: set with CVCL for that centre — ask for a clear line that separates the exam tax from optional courses or admin charges.
- Room, reporting time, and how the oral is scheduled — CVCL allows the oral on another day than the written block; the centre tells you the exact slot.
- Matricola: issued after registration — CVCL says ask the centre no sooner than 20 days after the registration deadline, and reuse the same number for future sessions.
Citizenship version vs general CELI 2
The calendar marks CELI 2 i cittadinanza on specific dates; those sittings are offered only through Italian centres. General CELI sessions that include CELI 2 follow the broader CVCL calendar — still always through an authorised centre, domestic or foreign.
