Florence, Tuscany -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/05/2010 -- For all students and lovers of the Italian language: are you looking for the ideal place to study one of the world’s most beautiful languages?

Welcome to the Leonardo da Vinci Italian language school in Siena (http://www.scuolaleonardo.com/Italian-language-school-Siena.html), one of the jewels of Tuscany, the very cradle of the Italian spoken and written word.

Siena combines all the neighborliness of small-town life with the attractions of a world-renowned cultural center and the educational and social resources of a campus environment.

Within its ancient walls and astonishingly well preserved medieval architecture, Siena will greet you with a plentiful variety of museums, bookstores, cafes, restaurants and shops featuring exquisite handcrafted goods.

Because Siena is a family town that houses one of the most important universities in Italy, students of all ages will find the pace of life leisurely yet rewardingly enhanced by a wealth of activities and many opportunities to exercise their new language skills (http://www.scuolaleonardo.com/Italian-language-courses-Siena.html).

As a student at the Scuola Leonardo da Vinci, you might study Italian in the morning then spend your afternoon at a wine tasting, or on a guided tour of a cultural site, at a lecture learning about one of Siena’s fascinating historic traditions, or simply sitting in the beautiful Piazza del Campo with an aperitif.

In the evenings you might attend a concert given by participants of Siena’s world-class music academy or try one of the local pubs or restaurants featuring hearty Sienese and Tuscan cuisine.

Weekends (http://www.scuolaleonardo.com/activities-school-Siena.html) are for exploring the town’s winding streets, art-filled churches, and picturesque squares or for excursions around the region. Florence, Arezzo, San Gimignano, and Volterra, are just a few of the culturally rich cities that are but a bus ride away.
