Centuries of history and art have left Florence with a unique heritage in the world. While the city carefully maintains its Renaissance architecture, it is not locked in time. Florence pulses with life from scurrying students in the university quarter to businessmen whizzing by on Vespas. Visitors from all over the world flock to this elegant city to breathe in its charming atmosphere. Florence has one of the highest concentrations of art masterpieces in the world, from the David to the Duomo. However, it is in its narrow streets, boulevards, gardens, and squares where the city offers its greatest "art." Here you will find the palaces, fountains, churches and markets that define everyday life in Florence, making every footstep an enchanting experience!

Florence is located in the center of Tuscany, a region characterized by magnificent cities of art such as Siena, Arezzo, Lucca, and Pisa and incredible landscapes like Chianti, Maremma, Alpi Apuane, and the islands of the archipelago. In addition, Florence is an ideal city in which to learn Italian. It was home to Dante Alighieri, known as the father of Italian language. In 1321 he wrote The Divine Comedy in "volgare"—the language based on the Florentine dialect which would eventually become
modern Italian.

Three Good Reasons to Study Italian in Florence
Florence is a great place to learn Italian. The standard Italian language was originally created from the Florentine dialect “volgare.”
Italy has an enchanting culture–the food, the art, the history, the fashion–so the school has developed an impressive activities program to incorporate this culture into your language course.
Florence is located in the heart of Tuscany, one of the most beautiful regions of Italy, where rolling hills meet gorgeous sandy beaches.

 
     
  Autumn (Sept.-Nov.) in Florence is a great time to visit, when the average temperatures are 42°F–80°F (6°C-27°C) and the main olive harvest takes place throughout Tuscany. Winter (Dec.-Feb.) can be chilly and wet with average temperatures of 35°F–54°F (2°C-12°C). Spring (March-May) arrives soon though and average temperatures range from 41°F–74°F (5°C-23°C). Summer (June-Aug.) can be hot and humid with average temperatures of 59°F–88°F (15°C-31°C).
