Anonymous – 12th June 2023

I loved the course and Florence as a city; so friendly and cozy! I got a lot of help with accommodation and studiainitalia answered all my questions and helped me through the entire process of booking and following the course. They also made a visit during the last days there to see that everything was to my satisfaction which I appreciated. I would really recommend studiainitalia as well as the jewelry making course i Florence.

The only thing I think they could do better is to be more informed about the courses, what they are about and what materials are needed, since you could bring them from your country.

Jessie – 15th January 2017

My time studying in Florence was incredible to say the least. It was very interesting and fun to learn about and experience the Italian culture. Apart from the knowledge I acquired during the course, the other great thing of the experience was to meet lots of locals. My thanks go to Federica and Lara for their outstanding service. My best wishes from San Diego- Jessie
