Florence – the birthplace of the Renaissance – is one of the most important cities in Europe in terms of art history and architecture. As the home of the Statue of David, the Fountain of Neptune, a plethora of Renaissance buildings and the Uffizi Gallery – one of the oldest art museums in the world – Florence is an ideal city to take a business Italian course for those involved in the Fine Arts, architecture, and design industries.
Aside from art, literature and music, the city and the surrounding region are famous for wine and food production – with the Chianti region just south of the city and a number of other important wine growing regions within close proximity. Florence’s economy thrives on the tourism industry, with tourists allegedly outnumbering the amount of locals from May to October. With an estimated 35, 000 hotel beds in the city and some 23, 000 other forms of accommodation, Florence is also a great place for those involved in thehospitality sector.
Business Italian courses are held at language school in the ancient city center of Florence, allowing students easy access to the rest of the city during their free time.
