I did the program on Elba for 3 summers. I learned so much Italian and had the time of my life!

Ottima scuola per imparare la lingua e la cultura italiana a Firenze, in un ambiente multiculturale e grazie a insegnanti preparati, divertenti e sempre disponibili. Grazie per la bellissima esperienza!

La prima settimana di dicembre ho seguito un corso qui. Posso dire che questa e stata una delle settimane più belle della mia vita... Marco era il mio professore e ho imparato molto da lui; e ho conosciuto un sacco di gente simpatica. Le persone della scuola erano anche molto gentili. E anche i cappuccini nell'nostro bar con Kazuko...Sicuramente ci tornerò indietro perché il mio italiano è molto meglio!

Searching for an Italian language school on Elba in 2013 I found the Centro Fiorenza. Was so impressed that I have returned every year since then. Still planning to return. Grazie.

Before I studies at Centro Fiorenza I could never imagine that I would be able to speak this good Italian after such a short period of time! The teachers are amazing and they make studying really fun.

For several months I studied at Centro Fiorenza, after a friend recommended the school to me. The teachers and staff at Centro Fiorenza went out of their way to help me. I would never have gotten this far without their help!
