Learn Italian in Florence

The Italian language school Centro Machiavelli is located in the historic centre of Florence, Italy in the district of Santo Spirito, home to artisans and artists, where, being just off the beaten tourist track, the economic and social characteristics of the area have been left intact. The school is in Piazza Santo Spirito itself, one of the finest squares of the city. With its bars and out-door cafés, its daily market, workshops and restaurants, it is a favourite haunt of Florentines and thus provides our students with an excellent opportunity to meet them.
Our centre was founded in 1978 and has been open ever since, making it one of the oldest schools in Florence, Italy teaching Italian language and culture.
Over the years we have maintained a size which enables us to have daily contact with all our students, to spend time with them and to cater to their needs for the duration of their stay with us. The atmosphere in our school is informal and very friendly. Group numbers are small and learning is therefore interactive and quick. Teachers are able to take into consideration the needs of each individual student and exchanges between the students are made easier and more meaningful. Our students come from all over the world a fact which promotes communication in Italian and which compels teachers to be more creative. Furthermore, as communication is the basis for our method of teaching, emphasis is placed on oral expression and the use of other languages is kept to a minimum. The school is located in the historic centre in Piazza Santo Spirito a short walk from Ponte Vecchio. The neighbourhood of Santo Spirito is lively and is home to artisan workshops, artist studios, shops, cafés, restaurants, and cultural events making it one the preferred meeting places for Florentines.
