Our Italian language course in Venice takes place all year. Our school, Istituto Venezia, is officially recognised by the Italian Ministry of Education. The school is located in the historical centre of Venice, in a historical building with a wide terrace on one of the most beautiful squares in the city.
Teachers are continuously updated with special seminars and teacher training programmes. They are professionals teaching Italian as a foreign language. The teaching methodology focuses on a fully communicative approach. It aims at developing oral and written communication skills. Therefore, if you wish to study Italian in Venice, we guarantee one of the best schools.

All the students have access to the study room with video facilities, where they can watch films from the video collection.

Discover Venice as a Venetian, not as a tourist
The pandemic has emptied Venice from mass tourism. We have had the chance to see clear canals, bare streets and an empty San Marco square. Now it is the moment to build a new type of tourism. Slow travels that will allow you to feel the city with all your senses.
The school organizes different social activities to discover the city of Venice. You will also visit some of the most interesting cities near Venice: Padua, Treviso, Verona, Ferrara. You will enjoy the beautiful landscape around Venice.
We care about your accommodation during your language course: we offer single rooms in Italian host families next to school with kitchen use, Or if you prefer, you can book a fully equipped single room with private bathroom and kitchenette in a residence few steps away from school. The residence has a garden, a cafeteria, a gym, study rooms, laundry machine and a bicycle storage.
To stay with an Italian family is the best way to improve your Italian. In the house you will find all you need: bed-linen and blankets, washing machine, TV. In addition, you will be given a personal copy of the keys so you can be independent.
The school also offers, in collaboration with the schools in Florence, Rome and Milan, the chance to take the course in two or more cities.

Wonderful experience at the Istituto Venezia !
Chuck –
Excellent course with excellent teachers. I enjoyed this immensely and have no complaints whatsoever.
Martina Gallagher –
I was very impressed with how organized the course was and how patient and kind the staff was. I plan to continue taking classes in the Istituto Venezia!
Martina Gallagher –
The Istituto Venezia was wonderful. Nicco, my teacher, was amazing, fun, patient and informative. I plan to return to take online courses starting in January and take face to face classes in April. LOVE this school!
Anne –
I felt quite happy speaking the little Italian I knew. My confidence grew rapidly. I felt supported by my teacher, who is fantastic. I loved my time at the Istituto Venezia.
Outside of the Institute, I found it frustrating not to have many opportunities to speak Italian well because people working in bars/restaurants have to speak English.
However, I did have opportunities at the market, in local charity shops and in local shops and markets in general. People were very helpful and I felt relaxed.
Paula –
I was completely happy with the result of my one month study. The school is excellent, I left happy with the level obtained. The teachers are all very friendly and helpful. My stay was undoubtedly the most beautiful experience, the lady was very kind, willing to share and show me Venice.

How can I not give you 5 stars after all the experiences I have had thanks to you! I’m back in Paris but my heart is still hibernating in Venice. The school is fantastic, the classes are great fun and the teachers are super friendly. They organise many extra-curricular activities in the afternoons which not only enrich your knowledge about Venice etc. but also help you to get to know the other students, to integrate into a group so that you can go out, visit together, practise Italian…. There hasn’t been a time when I haven’t made a thousand and one friends with you and then I’ll come back to see them again (either I go or they come). In fact, I’m already invited back to Venice in April and I’m staying with a friend for a week, the city is very beautiful and has a dreamlike atmosphere linked to the water that you can’t see in any other city, because Venice is unique. Luckily, I arrived when the Carnival was about to end so I didn’t eat so many tourists. In somma” the experience was wonderful! Until next time Federica, e grazie tante!
Victoria –
My experience in Venezia was spectacular. The academic level, the teachers, the administrative staff, the cultural and social activities, everything was always very organized and at an optimal level, and my Italian studies at this school were definitely a very good decision. Thank you very much for your help and concern in meeting my expectations.
Victoria –
I’ve arrived in Venice and I having a great time! The course is amazing and so is the city.Thank you for all the attention provided by your staff, you were very helpful and I’m really satisfied.Kind regards,Victoria
Griselda –
The course in which the Director placed me was very good, as it allowed me to complete what I had not learnt in Firenze, and I would like to highlight the extraordinary way in which Professor Giacomo managed the class, the timing and the way in which he guided the students to discover the grammatical rules, from my teaching experience, and the pleasant school atmosphere. The accommodation, although far away, allowed me to visit Venice on a daily basis, Sonia was an excellent hostess and very attentive, I repeat the thanks expressed in the Firenze course to Lara and Federica for their constant support, thank you!
Maria Angeles –
Dear Federica and Lara, first of all I would like to apologise for my delay in informing you about my stay in Venice. My opinion is very positive, except for the first house where I stayed and as I already informed you the coexistence with the lady was a disaster, as you solved it so well, everything was arranged very well, thank you very much. The school everything was great: the teachers were very responsible, good methodology and a great interest in our learning, the afternoon activities were very good and very efficient to solve the problems of the students, the second house I was in was wonderful, the people: mother and daughter were very kind, polite and comfortable…you can see that the balance could not be better but I have to say the reality. Bravo for Studioinitalia and for you, Federica, as I know you personally I repeat my thanks and Lara too, I know that the good functioning is the work of a responsible and well organized team like yours, bravo to all of you, receive my affection and gratitude, a hug for both of you.
Raquel –
Everything was great. When I arrived I had the documentation and the key to the room where you had told me. The residence was very quiet and the room was very nice too (they cleaned it and changed the sheets and towels once a week and everything). The only bad thing was that it was very hot and there wasn’t even a fan, the school was very good too. The teachers were very good and very available (especially Silvia). And the guy at the reception was also great, advising on extracurricular and cultural activities. The atmosphere of the school, in general, was unbeatable and it was a very good experience. I’ve learned a lot of Italian and I’ve also enjoyed the city a lot. Thanks for your advice and see you next time (which I hope will be next summer !!!!).
