The first day at Scuola Toscana all the new students are invited to join the “giro di orientamento“, where an italian language instructor, who happens to be also an expert in art history, and a lover of Florence, shows you the most important monuments and where you can find them… the center of Florence is not too big, and you can always refer to the “Cupolone” (Brunelleschi’s Duomo) if you get lost !
When you participate to this activity, my advice is – try to ask as much questions as possible (in Italian, of course, prepare in advance) so that you can really enjoy the walk.
Ah, it is for free, by the way !
