Tourism and Learning

Tuscany is known for being the birthplace of both Italian art and the Italian language. Today, Tuscany is home to many schools where visitors can study local culture, as well as the artistic, historical and artisan heritage of the region.
Many of the Scuole di Lingua e Cultura Italiana (Italian Language and Culture Schools) throughout the region are housed in prestigious centuries-old buildings. They offer frequent courses in the following subjects: Italian culture and language, art and art restoration, music, artisan skills taught in practical workshops, traditional Tuscan arts and crafts and of course, Tuscan cooking.
These cultural courses offer visitors the chance to enrich their stay and to really get to know this unique and stunning region, its way of life and its many hidden charms.
