Great resource
The stories are interesting and there is lots of useful and realistic vocabulary, however I would say they are for Advanced beginners to lower intermediate, rather than Beginners. The performances by the narrators are excellent , very clearly spoken.

Incomplete narration
What disappointed you about Italian Short Stories for Beginners, Volume 2 [Italian Edition]?
I was hoping that this would include the vocabulary lists and quizzes for maximum learning. Instead, the narrator chose to omit these important aspects of the book while also arbitrarily skipping over portions of the text. This makes this audio book pretty useless. Very disappointing.
Has Italian Short Stories for Beginners, Volume 2 [Italian Edition] turned you off from other books in this genre?
most likely
Would you be willing to try another one of Federico Borghi’s performances?
uncertain
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Italian Short Stories for Beginners, Volume 2 [Italian Edition]?
i would not have cut anymore scenes - - there was already too much omitted. I would have added the complete text.
Any additional comments?
it would be great if audible offered an updated edition of this to include all the lessons

Useful listening practice but nearer intermediate
If you could sum up Italian Short Stories for Beginners, Volume 2 [Italian Edition] in three words, what would they be?
Boosts listening confidence
What other book might you compare Italian Short Stories for Beginners, Volume 2 [Italian Edition] to, and why?
This is unlike other listening resources: interesting and varied themes with some surprise endings, clear diction, measured pace and vocabulary/grammar level consistently around the lower-intermediate area.
Any additional comments?
I liked the summaries after each chapter. A shame there was not a script, but it made me listen over again, which was beneficial. You need to be able to recognise several tenses (future, imperfect, perfect, past historic), occasional subjunctives, impersonal "si". Useful "bookmark" facility to enable revisiting sections of interest.

God story - needs s bit more performence
Love listening to a good story. Perfect amount of new words for a beginner with some knowledge beforehand. Sometimes is seems that the storyteller reads from a book he doesn't like instead of performing a play to an audience. Good start, room for improvement.
