Italian in Turin - elegant, authentic, quiet

Turin is one of the most surprising Italian cities in which to study the language. Elegant yet understated, it offers the beauty of historic architecture, Piedmontese cuisine, two prestigious universities and the Alps in the background, without the tourist crowds of Florence or Rome. Our campus is on Via Saluzzo, a few minutes from Parco del Valentino, in one of the liveliest neighbourhoods in the city. Here Italian is lived every day: in the historic cafés, the markets, the bookshops and the squares. It is the ideal choice for anyone who wants an authentic experience, in a refined city with a cost of living more accessible than Milan or Florence.

The Turin campus

The campus occupies a modern three-storey building designed entirely for teaching. The spaces are bright, quiet and designed for full-time students. The facilities include: 10 classrooms; a computer lab with 18 workstations; a language lab with booths for simultaneous interpreting; a library and study room; an Aula Magna for conferences and events; relaxation areas and common spaces for study and conversation. The campus is a few steps from Parco del Valentino and offers an international, modern and comfortable environment.

Modern three-storey campus

A purpose-built modern building, three floors, designed for full-time student use. Bright, quiet, comfortable - the opposite of a converted apartment on a noisy street.

10 classrooms, language lab, library

10 teaching classrooms, a computer lab with 18 workstations, a language lab with two two-person interpreting booths, a study room, and a library. An Aula Magna for events and lectures.

Indoor relaxation areas

A ground-floor relaxation/break area for students between classes, plus additional indoor spaces designed for informal conversation practice and group work.

Study spaces for full-time learners

Multiple study areas across the building, designed for students who actually work between classes - the kind of space most Italian language schools don't have.
