Students talk about what they do for a living and why Italian matters at work.
CORPORATE ITALIAN TRAINING · SINCE 2008
Florence - Italian for international firms in Tuscany.
Florence is where international capital meets Italian craft. Family offices, luxury maisons, private banking branches, foundation administrators, art-market professionals - the city's business profile is unusual and so are the Italian requirements of the executives we train here.
Our Florence delivery happens on-site at client premises across the historic centre, in Sesto Fiorentino, Scandicci or Prato - or at our Padri Scolopi campus on Via Bolognese, a 17th-century institutional setting that international firms have used for closed corporate intensives since 2008.

Italian for creative direction, supply-chain coordination with Italian artisans, retail leadership and the cultural register the sector expects. Family offices & private banking.

The Business Specialist model
Every campus has a dedicated Business Specialist - a single point of contact who scopes the programme, coordinates logistics, manages quality assurance and reports back to your HR or training manager. One partner. One contract. One line of communication. Multi-city delivery across Milan, Florence, Mantua and Turin runs under a consistent framework, so a multinational with offices in three Italian cities receives the same training quality, the same reporting and the same single invoice.
Where we deliver
Four Italian cities, four corporate-grade venues. Same Business Specialist framework, same reporting, same single invoice - delivered at your premises, online, or at our Academy. Each venue offers private executive classrooms, AV-equipped meeting rooms, professional reception and the address quality your HR director needs on a proposal.
