Where is the best place to learn Italian? Florence or Rome?

I am enrolling in a month- long Italian language course this Feb but I'm confused whether to stay in Florence or Rome. I heard Rome is warmer than Florence ( I hate cold weather) but I heard its more expensive and I'm a student on a budget. Guys? Any thoughts?

Hi, I live in Florence...

The climate in Florence and Rome is nearly the same, and to be honest, I'm not sure that Florence is less expensive than Rome...

But in my opinion there is a difference between the two cities:
the Italian spoken in Rome is more dialectic than the Florentine one, in fact Italian language was born in Tuscan, so, the Roman Italian could be more difficult for foreign people ( it also depends on your Italian level...)

Moreover Rome is a big metropolis (about 2.700.000 of inhabitants and 4 millions of inhabitants if we consider "Greater Rome area"), instead Florence is quite small ( it has about 370.000 of inhabitants, 600.000 if we consider the belt of suburbs...)

So it also depends if you are used to live in a big or small city and in which kind of city you would like to live...

Good Luck

Rome is warmer but also much more polluted than Florence.
Florence is a bit smaller than Rome, so it's less chaotic and it's easier to get in touch with the local atmosphere.
Keep in mind that italian language was born in Tuscany, directly from tuscanian medieval language, "volgare", the one that Dante used to write the Divine Comedy. So in tuscany is spoken the real italian language. Other regions has they own local dialects.

As far as the best place to learn Italian, that would be Florence, no way. Of course Florence's weather is not very good, especially in Feb.
Rome would be much better.As for costs I think both cities are expensive unless you decide to live just outside town.
Good luck!
