Social and cultural activities |
Traditionally,
the Institute has always offered its students every opportunity
to make themselves at home with Italian life and culture.
Besides
regular courses, the Institute makes available a series
of extra-curricular activities, both cultural and recreational,
which help students to enjoy and appreciate, in the best way
possible, their Florentine stay.
Visits
to museums, participation in concerts, excursions, showings of
films, conferences, dinners in restaurants, meetings with Italian
students, visits to markets and evening entertainment are organised
by the Institute staff, who, besides teaching, give a special
attention to student ‘get-togethers’. |
