A Fully Italian Summer, thanks to La Dolce Vita Courses in Italy

During the month of September the schools of Florence, Milan and Siena are offering a special Italian language course that we call “La Dolce Vita”: one week of Italian classes in the morning, followed by special cultural activities in the afternoon. Students are always accompanied by a knowledgeable guide in the field.

Each city offers an orientation tour at the beginning of the week and a specific program that is tailored to its most characteristic events and monuments.

For example, in Florence students will tour the workshops of local artisans and visit the art historically important church of Santa Maria Novella.

In Milan they will visit the famous Museo della Scala and attend a classical music concert or opera. In Siena they will visit one of Italy’s most beautiful town halls and enjoy wine tasting of world famous Tuscan wines.

Both in Siena and Florence students will enjoy a half-day excursion to the celebrated Chianti area. In the three cities students will also experience a traditional Italian dinner prepared by local chefs using regional products.

The aim of our Italian schools is to help students not only learn our beautiful language, but also to receive a full immersion in Italian art, history, culture and lifestyle.
