Florence, Tuscany -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/17/2011 -- Have you ever been to Florence? Take the opportunity to visit Tuscany and study Italian (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Michelangelo-Institute-Italian-language-school/317623434836?v=app_4949752878). Florence is an ideal city to begin Italian or to improve your knowledge of Italian for at least three reasons.

Firstly, Florence is the city where the italian language was born. Dante, Boccaccio, and Machiavelli, all of them from Florence, are the founders of this language, which dates back from the XIII century. The writings and essays of these authors are considered to be the base from which modern Italian has been created.

Secondly, Florence is an open air gallery of art and culture. Aside from the not-to-be-missed museums, the historic city center is a gem of the Renaissance and Medieval period. Everywhere you go, you will be enchanted by the beautiful palaces of the florentine nobility and the gothic churches spread all round the town.

Finally, Florence is a medium-size city, which means it includes all the comforts and entertainments of the biggest cities (night-life, theatre, concerts) as well as the coziness of the smallest ones. Far from the chaotic and industrial cities in the North part of Italy, and at only few hours from the most beautiful regions of the "Bel Paese," Florence is definitely the best city to learn Italian.

Don't miss the chance of visiting this city and take up one of the Italian courses offered by the Michelangelo School. Divided in six levels for beginners and advanced students, the Michelangelo institute's program in Florence is the ideal journey if you want to improve and practice your Italian (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Michelangelo-Institute-Italian-language-school/317623434836).
