ILM offers Italian language and culture courses in one of the most beautiful areas of Tuscany since 1981. Our school is located in Pisa, a young city of many historic and cultural attractions. In the summer we also offer courses in Viareggio, where you could study in a peaceful environment by the sea and enjoy. Since Pisa has an international airport, you can arrive here and tour Italy and the main European capitals easily and for a low cost. We are a small school (around 500 students per year) with a friendly cozy atmosphere. Our teachers are professional and experienced. The lessons are focused on developing communicative skills without overlooking the grammatical structures.
