THE CITY AND US

Florence: is the native city of Dante, the father of Italian language. To this day, almost 700 years after his death, Florence still enjoys the unquestioned title of being the centre of the Italian language.

Florence is also the cradle of the Renaissance and the home of innumerable art treasures.

FLORENCE FROM OUR WINDOWS AND TERRACE TODAY

A short twenty minutes walk from the historical centre of the town will bring you to the hills where you can see the harmonious blending of nature and civilisation over the centuries. There is also the Tuscan countryside, famous for its characteristic rolling hills and art treasures , easily accessible by bus or train.

In this splendid scene, in a city immersed in art and culture, our school offers students a minimum of three extra curricular activities per week. Lectures, guided visits to monuments and museums, panoramic walks, evenings at the cinema and concerts, classes in "Language & cooking" are some of the possibilities available.
