Our school is officially recognized by the University for Foreigners of Siena as a CILS Examination Centre (Certification of Italian as a Foreign Language) and is also a renowned DITALS Teacher Training and Examination Centre.

Italian in Florence is the language school of the Centro Internazionale Studenti Giorgio La Pira, a place of hospitality and dialogue offering educational and cultural programs inspired by Giorgio La Pira’s ideal of universal fraternity — the same values that guided his work as Mayor of Florence from 1951 to 1965.
