Italian Language School for Foreigners in Italy
Il Centro, our Italian language school for Foreigners & international students in Milan, Italy was founded in 1986. It was born from the experience of two Italian teachers, Enrica Cavo and Luisa Turolla, with the idea to provide Italian courses for foreigners to learn the language in a familiar atmosphere with an innovative methodology.
