Experience and passion

Why choosing Centro Machiavelli?

Are you looking for a unique experience to learn Italian?
Centro Machiavelli is not just an Italian language school, it is an environment that stands out for its warmth and familiarity, ensuring that your Italian learning journey is effective and engaging.

Small groups, big results

The small size of our school facilitates daily interaction with teachers, the administrative staff, and other students. Classes are limited to a maximum of ten students, promoting collaborative and rapid learning in a comfortable and informal atmosphere.

Experienced teachers and innovative methods

Our teachers have years of experience teaching Italian and are constantly updating their knowledge of the latest teaching methods and techniques. They will offer you dynamic and engaging lessons, continually adapting the course to your evolving needs. Communication is at the heart of the teaching method: particular importance is given to the development of oral expression skills, minimizing the use of a bridge language.

Not just Italian language: art, crafts, and culture

Learning Italian is just the beginning: we give you the opportunity to immerse yourself in authentic Italian culture with workshops in artists' studios and artisans' workshops, singing and music lessons designed for opera lovers, and even training internships.
In the “Firenze nell'Arte” practical courses, you learn by doing, you speak by creating, you explore by interacting, in a total experience where every day is a new page in an unforgettable diary. All activities are in Italian, giving you the opportunity to immediately put your new language skills into practice and fully experience Italian culture.

In 2005, the Machiavelli Center obtained recognition from the Ministry of Education and quality certification according to ISO 9001 standards.

In 2008, it obtained accreditation from the “Tuscany Region” as a training agency.
