The 10 Best Cooking Classes in Oltrarno, Tuscany

March 10, 2022 Alida England

Florence is an art historian’s dream. The Galleria dell'Accademia bursts with works by Michelangelo, who is entombed within the frescoed walls of the Basilica di Santa Croce. Budding photographers can snap pics of the Ponte Vecchio bridge, and serious shoppers can spend a blissful afternoon wandering the shops of Piazza Santo Spirito. Tuscan cuisine pays homage to the region’s bounty. Swipe a hunk of crusty bread across a pool of local olive oil and you’ll be instantly transported to your happiest place.

-----日本語----- もし、語学学校の選択に迷っている人がいたら、自信を持ってお勧めしたい学校です。 どの先生たちもフレンドリーで魅力的なところがあって、比較できません。 細かな質問であっても丁寧に答えてくれます。 この学校では世界中から学生がやってくるので、国際色豊かな多くの友達ができ、自分の国に居ただけでは絶対に知ることができないような体験ができたと確信しています。 また、学校初日はイタリア語初級者であった私が、イタリア人の友達を作ったり、インターンシップとして働いたりするほど語学力を高められたのはマキャベリのおかげです。 学校のアクティビティの優秀なガイドによってフィレンツェ、イタリア、家庭料理などをより深く知ることができる機会があるのも、マキャベリの特徴です。 是非、いろいろな人に、マキャベリを体験してほしいです! -----Italiano----- Se c’è una persona che sta pensando di scegliere una scuola per studiare la lingua italiana, vorrei consigliarle con fiducia. Tutti insegnanti sono amichevoli e affascinanti, cioè non si potrebbe paragonare. Se c’è una domanda precisa, ce la insegnano gentilmente. Gli studenti vengono alla scuola Machiavelli da tutto il mondo, cioè si potrebbe fare una amicizia con stranieri, e sono sicuro che se non andassi all’altra paese non potrei avere così bella esperienza. E poi anche se il primo giorno della scuola ero principiante, grazie alla scuola, sono riuscito a fare una amicizia con gli italiani, a fare un tirocinio perché mi ha fatto migliorato la mia lingua italiana. Ci sono gli opportunità per imparare Firenze e Italia e i cibi italiani ecc profondamente dalla bravissima guida della scuola, secondo me questo è uno che la scuola Machiavelli ha un carattere speciale. Vorrei che tutti abbiano questa bella esperienza di Machiavelli!! -----English----- If there is a person who is looking for a school to study the Italian language in Florence I want to recommend Centro Machiavelli. All of the teachers are very friendly and charming. It is impossible to compare them. If there is a question or a new concept, they explain everything with great care and look for a way to make you understand as easily as possible. They keep in mind how different people learn and use that to the advantage of the student. Students come to this school from all of the world, so you could make friends with people from all sorts of places. I am sure that if I wouldn't have left my country that I would not have met so many wonderful people. And although on the first day I was a beginner, thanks to the school I succeeded in making friends with Italians. I also was able to do an internship and use the skills and language that I have learned in practice. There are many opportunities to learn more about Florence, Italy, the Italian culture and Italian foods from the school's wonderful guide, Rima. I think that Machiavelli has a special character. I wish for everyone to have such a wonderful experience at Centro Machiavelli!!
