Description

This program is designed for students who have had little or no previous study of the Italian language. Take classes in language and culture in a 15th century palazzo adorned with murals and statues. Just steps from Santa Croce and a short walk to the Duomo, the Uffizi Gallery, and Ponte Vecchio, the resources of the city will enrich your studies. The warm and friendly Florentines are happy to encourage your language acquisition and Florence's central location makes it easy to explore the surrounding area, as well as the rest of Italy and Europe.
