CENTRO MACHIAVELLI
Italian language school in Florence – Tuscany
The Centro Machiavelli, founded in the historical centre of Florence in 1978, is an important reference point for those who want to study Italian, who want to use this language creatively, who are interested in the culture of our country.
Our characteristic is the attention we pay to the motivation and satisfaction of the expectations of each individual student. The atmosphere here is cheerful and informal, thus fostering communication and relationships. The maximum number of 10 people per class group allows for rapid learning, based on collaboration between the participants. Alongside a clear illustration of the rules of the language, we offer plenty of space for communicative activities and games. Our students come from all over the world, which makes it possible for them to communicate always and only in Italian and imposes on teachers a flexible and creative mentality: in the organisation of the lesson, in the use of teaching materials and in the activities proposed.
The Centro Machiavelli proposes cultural activities that take place outside normal school hours. These activities are aimed at providing useful elements to read the Italian reality, to appreciate our historical and artistic heritage and to orient oneself in the city, the country and our culture.
The activities also have an obvious socialising function, creating opportunities for exchange between students from different classes who come together and speak Italian, putting their learning to use in a real, non-simulated context.
Where we are
The school is located in the historic centre of Florence, in Oltrarno, in one of the city’s most charming districts: San Niccolò. A district far from mass tourism, all to be experienced. Walking along characteristic streets and alleyways, we encounter places of great historical and artistic interest, as well as numerous artisan workshops, and a variety of clubs (pubs, restaurants and trattorias) that enliven its nightlife. The school, housed in a historical building, has spacious classrooms and a terrace overlooking the river from which one can admire Ponte Vecchio, the Uffizi Gallery and other monuments.
Features
- Students per class: Max. 10
- Accreditations: Region accreditation, Bildungsurlaub, CSN, Eduitalia
- Duration of the lessons: 45 minutes
