La Lingua La Vita now in Florence too!

	After 16 successful years in Todi, La Lingua La Vita comes to Dante’s hometown! Our new premises will allow students to benefit from doing our courses in a unique setting, at Villa Morghen in Settignano, a beautiful hilltop location overlooking the city of Florence. You can enjoy our original language and cultural programme in a relaxing and exclusive environment.
La Lingua La Vita at Villa Morghen is only 15 minutes by bus from the centre of Florence. We offer quality residential accommodation in an ancient Olivetan monastery
	The program in Firenze as well as in Todi, has been devised for pre-formed groups of students coming from Universities, high schools or groups of tourists interested in studying Italian language and culture and who wish to gain a deeper insight into the traditions, customs and artistic expressions of our country in a town representing the greatest and most fascinating linguistic laboratory for the Italian language. The program provides the students with the opportunity to practice the language constantly and with a highly communicative method, harmoniously integrated in the cultural, artistic and literary context of the heart of Italian civilization.
COURSES are for groups of 8 to 15 participants and might run from one week to several weeks according to the group specific needs. Lessons are held from Monday to Friday in the morning while the afternoon can be dedicated to the interesting cultural activities to be chosen among the many proposed by the school.
