Scuola Leonardo da Vinci Florence

Scuola Leonardo da Vinci's Florence campus is in a historic building on Via Maurizio Bufalini, close to the Duomo. The teaching rooms occupy a three-storey building, with a separate ground-floor area where students can meet between lessons. The school offers short and longer language stays, including courses for learners studying towards an Italian qualification.

A closer look at La Dolce Vita

The Florence edition of La Dolce Vita pairs morning Italian in a level-appropriate group with an afternoon or evening cultural programme. It is designed for mature learners who want to return to Italian or extend an existing knowledge of the language. The school gives examples ranging from an introduction to the city's art history to encounters with artisans working in ceramics, paper or leather. A Chianti visit introduces the language of food and wine outside Florence. The specific visits vary by session.

Using the campus for a different goal

The school also has experience with CILS preparation. For a learner planning further study, the first choice is whether to work towards a specific qualification or concentrate on general Italian. Those goals lead to different timetables even at the same language level. The Bufalini campus is the Florence teaching location within the wider Leonardo da Vinci network.
