Milan struts proud in the world of fashion and fills many a pocket in the world of finance. It is the sophisticated second city of Italy, home to the country's greatest designers, largest industries and most powerful banks. Despite being no rival for the artistic wonderlands of cities like Florence or Siena, Milan has also fared well in the cultural stakes and today offers the visitor plenty of grand palazzos, sumptuous concert halls and elegant cafés. With an efficient public transport system whisking you to all these places by metro, tram and bus, you'll still have time for some delicious Milanese food that typically includes polenta and risotto - to say nothing of a great range of bar snacks to be washed down by your early evening aperitivo.
Italian courses are available in a range of formats in Milan – from General, Individual and Combined courses, to specialist options for Business Italian. Students are offered accommodation in either a shared apartment or with an Italian host family for full Italian immersion. The school in Milan is close to the city centre, and as such is easily reached no matter where you stay.
