About ABC School - Sestri Levante
The ABC School has been teaching the Italian Language and Culture to students from all over the world and has its main office in Florence since 1982.

Also known as the city with two seas, Sestri Levante is set on a promontory extended on the sea originating two bays, the Bay of Silence and the Bay of the Fairy Tales, so called in honor of Hans Christian Andersen who lived here 1833.
