I studied in Rome at Torre di Babele, and loved their program! Thought it was excellent.
Here's their website: http://www.torredibabele.com/ |

best places for learning are universities of siena and perugia. they have intensive courses for foreigners that really work.
and life there is not so expensive, they are small towns. |

Florence is one of the most expensive cities in Italy. The South of Italy is generally cheaper than the North, as far as living is concerned. However, there are not as many schools for foreign students as in the Center and the North. If you want to learn Italian just by living here, I would suggest Lecce: a beautiful city, full of culture, low on crime, with great people. If you want to go to a school, Florence and Perugia have great language courses for foreign students. |

Hi,
I'm Italian.
I'd say the north of Italy. don't go to the South because they have a strong dialect. u risk to learn sicily or naples dialect instead of Italian.
I recommend cities like Milan, Venice, or Florence
Italian language was developped in Florence!
Rome is the capital (central Italy)and I think u could have more fun in Rome, the climate is mild, it's not so expensive but young people speak dialect most of the time.
Ciao |

I suggest you Bologna! It is quite expensive, but it is the best if you want to learn italian. It has one of the best italian university, and there are a lot of students because it is a university city! |

It's true, southern italy is cheaper, but also there are less schools in the south. Florence was where I studied, so I'm a bit partial...it was not that expensive (very comparable to the US) and it has a TON of other students from all over to meet and make friends with. I probably would not go there or to Rome in the summer though. Floods of tourists and it is very humid and hot (and NOBODY has air conditioning!). One guy said Lecce...that's probably a nice sized town with lots to do and little tourists if you're thinking about the summer. |

Don't know whether this fits the bill, but my Italian teacher always talked about the Universita per Stranieri (for foreigners), and he was an excellent teacher...so I trust his advice.

If you go to Sicily or other extreme south areas you'll find the cost of living is much lower than in the north because these areas are poor. There are also fewer tourists in these areas. The weather is also much nicer! You won't get the arts and culture of Florence or Rome, but you'll save money and have way fewer chances to cop out and speak English! I can personally recommend International House language schools; they are some of the best for private foreign-language training. There is one in Palermo, one in Campobasso and one in Latina (fairly close to Rome). If I was going to take an Italian course, I would go to an IH school. |
