About Duomo Italian Academy
Duomo Italian Academy occupies a historic palazzo a few steps from Brunelleschi's cathedral. Small classes, frescoed ceilings and a programme woven through the city's art make it one of our most enchanting schools anywhere.
Accredited by ASILS and a member of EAQUALS, the school keeps classes small (8–10 students) and its groups genuinely international, so Italian is the only common language from your very first morning.
