Italian courses in Milan, in our historic Academy
Ciao! Welcome to our Milan Academy, an elegant few steps from the Duomo, on Via Durini, 7. Our Italian courses in Milan are designed around the way people actually experience this city: professionals relocating here for work, students taking a 4 to 24 week intensive, long-term students with a study visa, and Milan residents looking for a course that fits around the rest of their life. Let's get started together.
What makes Milan different at Accademia di Italiano
Designed for people who use Italian. Those who study in Milan rarely come to "experience Italy". They come because they live or work here, or are about to. The course content reflects that: real work situations, professional registers, written Italian, the language of negotiation, not just tourist phrases. Organised around real life. Milan is a city that works. The Standard and Light formats fit professionals with afternoon jobs, parents managing their children's school schedules and visa students who need a documented full-time load. Study-visa documentation, done properly. Consular-grade documentation, residence-permit support after arrival, attendance reporting when required. We do this every week, not as an exception. Corporate ready. A significant share of our work in Milan is corporate Italian for employees of international companies relocating staff. Same Academy, same teachers, contracts negotiated at corporate level.
