    Definitely the best experience of my life! I learnt a lot and made friends that I’ll carry with me forever… It was a two-month Italian course + internship in a traditional Italian restaurant in Florence. The city is simply marvellous! Everyone at Studiainitalia (without exception) is attentive and very professional… Thank you for making this experience even more incredible.
