The city of Lecce and the Salento region have a heritage of history, geography, art and natural beauty in Mediterranean Italy with its lights and colours, its sea and its inland areas new and cheerful, its hospitable and discrete people, its cuisine, light and varied and its natural products. Lecce is famous for its Baroque style, built in a fine-grained golden limestone. The city basked in the glory and changing fortunes of the Roman Empire until its fall, when it was incorporated, along with the whole of the south of Italy, into the Eastern Roman Empire, whose capital was Byzantium, to which Lecce owes its cultural growth thanks to the philosophical, artistic and religious influence of this ancient Greek culture.

 

Funded in 1994, the school specializes in teaching Italian as a foreign language. Recognized by the Italian Ministry of Public Education and is in the process of receiving ISO 9001 qualification.
The school is located in the historic centre of Lecce, in a free standing 3-storey building of about 2000 sq. metres, with a surrounding garden and a large entrance. There are 12 classrooms, a Language Laboratory for 16 students, a multimedia laboratory with 10 computers connected internally via LAN and connected to the Internet via ADSL phone lines, a conference room with TV and video, and a gym, all available to students free of charge.
