"A wonderful Experience!"
"Perfect experience for me to learn a new skill in a lovely environment"
Our staff and our goal -
The Founders of the school, Anja Schultz and Andrea Moradei, having had more than 30 years of experience in the field of Cultural Tourism, have created this new initiative, better-designed to satisfy the needs of both Italians, and foreigners.
From Italian Language, to Art, Photography and the Crafts
From an initial idea of offering a range of activities concentrating on Italian Language and Culture for foreign students, the need became obvious to open a general Cultural Centre, aimed at both Italian and foreign users, offering firstly a Learning opportunity, which can subsequently become a Professional opportunity.
Professional staff for every area of study, at your disposal
Sessions with professionals of all types: Photographers, Graphic Designers, Painters, Sculptors, Video Makers and Craftspeople have enabled us to delve deeply into a wide-range of subjects, with the idea of also enhancing future job opportunities.
For non-Italians we have created a series of custom courses to be able to learn the Italian Language, directly inspired by, and designed for, the various reasons that you’d like to speak Italian. In the light of this new approach, it was obvious for us to include a collaboration with our Centro Italiano in Naples, who have been working in this field for many years, with great success.
These are our collaborators:
Eleonora Nistri -Language and Italian culture
Franco Guardascione – Photography
Francesco D’Isa – Graphics for Advertising and Creative Writing
Marcello Fittipaldi – Video production and Web design
Serena Guidobaldi – Food Storytelling
Accademia d’Arte – Art
Le Arti Orafe – Goldsmithing
Decorazioni e Pitture – Artisan Production
Abacus – Bookbinding
Our location -
The classes at Centro Italiano take place in a historic building, in the tree-lined Piazza D’Azeglio, a 19th century square.
Two minutes from the school you’ll find the S.Ambrogio district, with its old food and flea markets. It’s an area that has maintained its own identity, where mainly Florentines live, and it’s away from the flow of group tourism. Small shops, artisan workshops, cafes, restaurants and theatres make this part of Florence particularly pleasant and lively. Not far away are Santa Croce square, the Dome, the University, and some of the city’s most important museums. The area is served by most city bus lines, so you can quickly and easily reach any part of the city. The school offers spacious and bright classrooms, free WIFI, and a peaceful garden.
