Since 1978 the Italian language schoolCentro Machiavelli has been a meeting place for those drawn to Italian, who want to use this language creatively and who are interested in the culture of this country, in the broadest sense.
Our characteristic is the care and attention with which we treat each and every participant of our Italian language courses, to their needs and to satisfying their expectations.
The atmosphere, is cheerful and informal as required when communication is aimed at a specific purpose, as it is here.
Our programmes
- Italian language courses for every level and duration.
- History of Art courses for interpreting the iconography of works of art.
- Music and singing courses for lovers of Opera and singers.
- Firenze nell’Arte: practical courses in the workshops of artists and artisans.
- Italian cooking courses, apprenticeships and workshops, at school and in companies operating in the food and beverage industry.
- Cultural and recreational activities: seminars, guided visits, workshops, excursions, field trips.
The maximum number of participants of 12 per group, allows for rapid learning of the Italian language, based on individual participation. As well as a clear illustration of the rules of the grammar, we allow ample space for communication activities and for games.
Our students come from all over the world and this enhances the chances of communicating in Italian only and it makes mental flexibility and creativity a must for the teachers, in organising the lessons, in the use of the teaching material and in the activities undertaken.
