Organized in eight chapters, each focused on one Italian region explored through the lenses of literature, art, history, popular culture, and cinematography, Caleidoscopio fosters student-centered discovery learning through percorso scritto and/or percorso orale activities. The five sections of each chapter integrate language and cultural content and include original readings, audio files, literary excerpts, contextualized grammar reviews, guided analysis and discussion of photographs and films.

Caleidoscopio includes audio files, testing programs, answer keys to all exercises, teacher's note, Student Activity Manual, glossary, and a sample syllabus.

The book also includes a discussion of Levi's art and of Francesco Rosi's film "Christ Stopped at Eboli".
