Around Pisa AirPort

Tuscany is full of charm. Peace, silence and tranquility prevail particularly, in the many small, idyllic medieval towns. Here, the traveler comes in the enjoyment of an ancient culture, that has been spared by the bustle of modern life. The games of children are still the same of their great-grandfathers. The recipes have their roots in an ancient culinary art, which once enriched the tables of the powerful Medici clan. But, off the beaten tracks, it is almost impossible to find someone, who speaks English. For exploring the outstanding Tuscan culture, some knowledge of Italian is therefore essential. As the birthplace of the Italian language,  Tuscany is the ideal place for studying Italian in Italy.

Today’s Italian started with the Divine Comedy by Dante. Dante wrote this first-class work in Florentine dialect, which was first appreciated and imitated by the nobility and high society, and which,  over the years, prevailed as the national language throughout Italy.

The wide offer of Italian language courses in Tuscany is truly not only a linguistic, but also a cultural enrichment. Many Italian language schools offer a delightful combination of Italian language courses and cultural and sporting activities such as hiking, horseback riding, painting, cooking, wine tasting and Italian art history. Tuscany also boasts one of the most prestigious universities in the world, the University of Pisa. The scientific faculties are the most renowned on international level. The faculties of Mathematics and Physics, which were founded by Galileo Galilei,are the best ones around the world. Tuscany is therefore also a popular destination for students from around the world, who want to study in Italy. For this reason, Pisa offers special preparatory courses for the entrance examination to the Italian university.
