ISTITUTO EUROPEO
Located in the heart of Florence, literally steps from the Cathedral, the ISTITUTO EUROPEO, for years has specialized in teaching Italian language, Music and culture to students from all over the world.
The Institute's philosophy is to make learning enjoyable; to delve into the study of the language and culture in a multi-cultural environment, which is both friendly and dynamic.
