About Centro Machiavelli

Our school of Italian language is located in the historic center of Florence , in Piazza Santo Spirito, one of the most beautiful squares of the city and one of the popular meeting place of Florentines and by our students.
The neighborhood around it is very lively and hosts, alongside the traditional activities of craftsmen, meeting places, restaurants, bars, artist studios and fantastic markets.

Our Italian school is medium in size and this allows us to have daily contact with all the students, to be with them and to follow them carefully for as long as you remain with us.
There are few students per group and then learning becomes more collaborative and fast, the teacher has the possibility to take into consideration the needs of each individual student, the atmosphere is comfortable, casual and great availability.
Our students come from all over the world, this fosters the ability to communicate in Italian and stimulates the teachers flexibility and creativity.
Also, since communication is the basis of teaching method for learning Italian , great attention is paid to oral skills and limited to the minimum the use of a bridge language.
The apartments are situated in the center and the school is within walking distance. The total independence of the public transport is very useful especially in the evening, when you return home from bars, concerts, theaters, restaurants and parties.
