Through language one learns culture and through culture one learns language. Working or learning with enjoyment accelerates your process of learning.

Founded in 1996, the Istituto Donatello believes in giving its students a first class grounding of the Italian language in a warm and friendly environment. A melting pot of students from all over the world learning and conversing together, more than Language is achieved by its students. Much cultural exchange is concentrated within the small and familial premises of the school, conveniently located adjacent to the historical town centre, in a city that was once the bustling artistc capital of 19th Century Italy.
It is through the adapting and absorbing of the historic Italian language, culture, and art together in an amiable environment, that education becomes enjoyment and an unforgettable experience at the Istituto Donatello in Florence.

The thread that binds together the creative diversity of our teachers is surely none other than the passion to impart and to learn. All animated and enthusiastic university graduates, they are most attentive and patient to the needs of each and every student, and are specifically qualified in the field of teaching Italian as a foreign language. Highly dedicated to the individual progress and the welfare of students, they are most approachable and greatly valued by pupis of the school, often developing close and long-lasting friendships with students from all over the world.

We wish you a pleasant stay in Florence and look forward to seeing you!
