Italian and Art Learning Holidays

With the Italian and Art course you’ll explore the wonders of the city of Florence, learning the language while admiring the main artworks of the Italian Renaissance, through exciting and instructive trips to museums, galleries, artisan workshops, churches, and historic buildings.

Why choose between learning the language, or enjoying Italy’s rich artistic heritage? Do both! With this course, you’ll actually be able to learn Italian with a journey through the most beautiful art ever created.

The course lasts one week, can start at any time of the year, and consists of five language lessons done during a small daily artistic and cultural excursion, each one different from the next.
