WAS DIE STUDIERENDEN ÜBER UNSERE ITALIENISCH-SPRACHKURSE SAGEN
Dies war das zweite Mal, dass ich am Instituto Galilei Kurse genoss. Dass ich wieder dieser Schule zurückkomme sagt ja genug aus. Vor drei Jahren hatte ich meinen Italienischkurs mit einem Kurs der Kunsthistorik kombiniert. Einen besseren Ort als Florenz könnte ich mir hierzu nicht vorstellen. Auch waren die Lehrer hervorragend und die zwei Wochen bleiben unvergesslich und zudem kam ich mit meinem Italienisch ein gutes Stück weiter. Dann hatte mich die Sehnsucht wieder gepackt und ich hatte mich entschlossen dieses Jahr mein Italienisch noch weiter zu polieren und mit einem Kochkurs zu kombinieren, was auch von der Schule organsiert wurde. Wiederum nahm ich Einzelstunden am Morgen. Nachmittags wagte ich mich die Küche von Lino, einem kleinen aber feinem Restaurant in der Nähe des Domes. Lino hat mir nicht nur die technischen Feinheiter der toskanischen Küche nähergebracht, sondern auch vermittelt mit welcher Leidenschaft die Italiener das Kochen und natürlich das Essen zelebrieren. Diese zwei Wochen gehören zu den besten Erlebnissen meines Lebens. Kann ich nur weiter empfehlen.

Dear Mr. Perugini
I just wanted to take a few moments to thank you for the great learning experience that I had at your school. I have learnt a tremendous amount. I am now building on this by subscribing to an Italian TV station. I am making enquiries about a local conversation class, and will be continuing with my grammatical exercises. I am also currently reading a book in Italian that I purchased before leaving. Please thank your able staff again for me.
Kind Regards,

Dear Professor Perugini,
My wife and I would like to express our appreciation for attending Galileo Galileo. Our stay of two months was so rewarding. Not only were we satisfied with our progress in Italian, but our knowledge of Italian art and culture was greatly enhanced.
As we left class each day, your personal recommendation of things to see served us well.
Our weekly school trips to an historic place with a professor of Italian art were always interesting.
Your teachers were all very impressive and knowledgeable. We have attended other European language schools and rate yours with the best.
Our personal regards, to you and your staff.
Sincerely,
Ambassador Chic Hecht
Gentlemen:
After months of Italian language study in three separate institutions, including Istituto Galileo Galilei, I am most pleased to give your school the strongest possible recommendation. In addition to studying the language for eight months, I now have the benefit of having lived and worked for almost three years in Italy. The preparation I received to speak, understand and work using the Italian language was far superior to either of the other two institutions, both professional language training centers, in which I studied in the United States.
For the purpose of learning Italian for business or pleasure, I most highly recommend Istituto Galileo Galilei for the superb instruction available there, uniquely concentrated on the individual through a student to teacher ration of one to one. What's more, the intensive courses, so professionally prepared, are reinforced through a number of learning techniques, including cultural presentations, access to news media, radio, television and personalized instruction only available to someone who pursues the study of Italian in Italy.
Sincerely,

Dear Angelo e Tania,
This is a very small way of saying a BIG thank you for making my stay in Firenze so special. Words can not tell you how grateful I am to both of you.
Three truly rewarding weeks of study at the school were a great experience and I could never imagine my life without having med and worked with Alma. She is certainly a masterful teacher, so knowledgeable about the Italian language, culture and literature. Her love and in-depth understanding of music was a most unexpected surprise. The talk about music via the Italian language was a real adventure. From the start of my work with Alma I knew she was a special lady. Each day she became more so, thank you for this beautiful experience.
Thank you, Tania for my home in Firenze. It was enjoyable and comfortable and I thank you for taking care of the endless details which made this possible, your warm greeting at the school, your cheerful smile, our conversations, and your gracious manner were so delightful. My thanks for checking on me during my illness.
Angelo, I do not know how to again to express my thanks to you. You gave such riches to my stay in Firenze and my study at the school. There is no way that I know to truly make you know the depth of my gratitude. Each morning you gave me an energic greeting upon my arrival at school. An enjoyable conversation usually followed. I thank you for my rewarding times with Raffaello. This was such a great time of learning about Italian art and history in Lucca Arezzo and Firenze. My thanks to you also for your continued work on the Firenze - Marywood Project. Hopefully it will fly soon, to be wing and develop into a long term event. For so much kindness and assistance, I give you my sincere thank.
All good wishes,
Tommaso
Hi Rita,
The first thing that comes to mind is how on earth to convey to you the high regard which I hold for the Istituto Galilei. I suppose the short version would be to say that environments of excellence are only too rare in today's world, and that environments of excellence offer me great comfort. The school offers both, an environment of excellence itself, which strives to offer adult students an environment in which they may excel, comfortably and at one's own pace. The school is superb.
It is intended for adults, and it succeeds in a way which can be expressed only with superlatives.
I have always found learning to be a stimulant, but I found that learning a language when one is in one's 50's is a new experience (different). That is one of the strengths of the Istituto Galileo Galilei. I found the teachers and the method of teaching clearly focused towards adults, as opposed to a "student-school structure". The teachers are, themselves, adults, which I found to be equally important. They are highly skilled professionals, with their experience in teaching, learning, education and working together with adult students in great evidence. They exhibited flexibility in adapting their teaching methods to my learning needs, which they readily and professionally identified. The ability of the teachers to enhance my focus with interests that provoked learning is also not to be overlooked. The school is excellent.
In addition to the study of the language, the support and assistance I received in every facet of living in Florence temporarily is not to be undervalued. Hotel, transportation, culture, and general care. My overall well-being was of obvious and sincere concern, in a very comfortable way. It was constant, but it was not stifling, nor rigid. It was simply human and kind.
Of course I can only speak for myself, but my experience was exceptional. I achieved a profound comprehension of the language, and ability to communicate in Italian at the Istituto Galilei, that I never dreamed possible in a matter of months. The dedication and commitment of the people at the school was extraordinary (sorry, another superlative). I desperately wished to learn Italian for professional reasons, and they embraced my desire almost insisting that I succeeded. I did.
The people themselves, with whom I spent 8 hours every day, are very, very nice, ethical and warm people. I very much enjoyed my time with them. Moreso, I admire and respect them - all of them, each in their individuality.
I found the professional curriculum excellent. My learning curve was vertical (and still is), and I can only recommend the school with the highest of accolades. I have since returned for brief stays following my several month study in Florence, and I am constantly trying to get back to study more.
Well Rita, you asked, and as I remain extremely enthusiastic about my experience at the Istituto Galileo Galilei, I am only too happy to share it with you. If I rambled on, please forgive me, but I truly wish to share my highest regards for the school with you. I can only urge you to proceed with your plans and hope that your world will become as enhanced as mine since my sojourn to Florence with the Istituto. I credit them with having given me the Italian language in a sophisticated, mature and delightfully professional manner. It was one of the highlights of my life, and at this stage in my life, that's not said lightly.
If I can be of any other help to you, please don't hesitate to ask. I wish you success and much enjoyment. Who knows, perhaps we can meet in Florence one day.
Kind regards,
Joyce

Dear Tanya, Manuela and Raffaello:
I'm already back in Brazil and unfortunately my last days in Florence were so busy that I didn't have a chance to go to the School and say good-by in person as had planned to. But it's never too late to tell you how much I enjoyed meeting you and to thank you for all your assistance and professionalism.
My course on History of Art thorough the streets, churches and museums of Florence was an experience that I shall never forget.
My special thanks to the bravissimo Raffaello, who lead me through the streets of beautiful Florence not only opening the doors to its history and art but also handling me the keys for me to open some by myself.
I wish you all the best and hope to see you again soon.
A presto!
Ana
I want to thank you for the excellent course in Italian Art History. The instructor was excellent. He is very knowledgeable and presented the ideas in a very engaging way. I never expected to cover all of the history that we covered and in the depth we covered it. Florence is a fascinating city on many levels and I feel that I have a much greater understanding of the city, its art and its history after the time I spent in the course. I look forward to seeing you again when I am in Florence.
Blessings,
Bob Hall
Dear Manuela and everyone at the Institute,
We would like to thank you for the wonderful opportunities that you have provided for us in Florence.
We very much enjoyed the art history class with Raffaello. It was both enriching and fun. Our apartment was great and also added to our memorable experience.
Thanks again,
Lisa Heckler & Anne Hospod
Dear Manuela and Raffaello,
Let me again say how much I enjoyed my classes - I have been giving rave reviews to all my friends and associates. They were exactly what I hoped for - and even better than I expected. If you know of a comparable school in Paris, where I could take some further courses in February, I
would be very grateful for a recommendation, as I have been unable to find anything during long hours of research on the Web.
I so enjoyed meeting you, and together rising to the challenge of Raffaello's questions!
Thank you again, Raffaello, for hours of fascinating lectures that wove together the most interesting facts about the art, politics, people and life in Renaissance times. As much as I was ready to come home after a month away, I wish I could have stayed for more!
Thank you Manuela, for your patience and efforts on my behalf. Please give my regards to the director.
I shall look forward to hearing from you all - I hope!
Fondly,
Victoria

The History of Florence is a wonderful course to understand the birthplace of the Renaissance and its more ancient roots. It's someting you can study your whole life, so having a good teacher is the key. Istituto Galilei has done this beautifully in a short course. With my instructor Nicola, I had a very enthusiastic, personable and knowledgeable guide. In a small group where you can ask your own questions and interact, I discovered many rich connections between the places, the people, the artists, and their ideas. So much is hidden to the casual and self-guided tourist. I have been here three times before, but now I look at Florence differently. I feel much more connected to this great story which continues to inspire me in my work and my learning.

Dear Angelo,
Please accept my sincere thanks to for asking Professor Bocciolini to provide a full morning tour for GEN & Mrs Fulford during their stay in Florence. They were overwhelmed at Prof. Bocciolini's wealth of historic and cultural knowledge and enjoyed his enthusiasm for art in general.
I would appreciate it if you could kindly deliver the enclosed "thank you" note from me to Prof. Bocciolini. Also, it would be wonderful if you could find the time to come to Rome - it would be my pleasure to offer you a bowl of carbonara , or abbacchino alla romana, if you prefer!
Again, with many thanks,
Sincerely,

Manuela,
Thanks for your note. We had a marvelous time in Florence, Tuscany, and Venice, and our classes with Angelo were the centerpiece of the trip. Angelo was an excellent teacher and a charming host. His instruction on the elements of drawing in the Renaissance manner were exactly what we needed both to improve as artists ourselves and to better appreciate the masterpieces we saw during our trip.
Thank you for arranging the class and for your courtesy and professionalism throughout the process.
All the best,
Tom Conklin
Dear Manuela and Tatiana,
David and I are so sad to be leaving Florence. We had a most wonderful stay.
As I mentioned to Tatiana yesterday, I loved my art work with Roberto. He is a wonderful teacher giving just the right amount of attention and feedback to each student as they need and want it. I feel as though I have learned a great deal from him and wish that I had more time in his studio. Perhaps we will come back for a longer stay some time.
David and I wish you both all the best.
arrivederci,
Judy
Dear Manuela,
Thank you for making the arrangements for Tatiana to stop by the apartment at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday. It has been a great place to stay and a wonderful location for me.
I have never enjoyed an art course so much as with Angelo. I have learned many things and he has been a most patient teacher. Studying under his supervision has been a very valuable experience that I will never forget.
You and Tatiana have been so wonderfully helpful, that I cannot thank you enough. I would love to return some time in the future.
Best wishes for the continued success of the school.
Kathy Lowthian
Dear Manuela,
Just wanted to write to say thank you so much for all your time and help during our stay in Florence. The course was wonderful. Please thank Roberto again for us. We really did enjoy ourselves. Please could you also thank the headmaster of the school on our behalf. Mr Baldi was very kind in having us to stay in his apartment. Please give him our thanks.

Good morning,
We would like to tell you that we are very happy about our stay at la Villa. All the people there where very friendly. We really enjoyed the cooking classes with the chef who is really good and friendly. We learned a lot about Italian cooking and we have appreciated a wonderful diner every evening (but now, we are on diet!)
We wanted to thank you and to let you know that we will recommend the school and the Villa.
Thanks to you and to everyone who made our stay so pleasant.
Stephanie and Frederic Sabalski
Dear Tatiana and Manuela,
Again, thank you very much for arranging our cooking course for us. We really had a good time and learned a lot.
I had a dinner party here at our apartment last night and I cooked a few of the dishes I learned and they were a hit!!! One of my guests was Italian and he said it was perfect -- so you could imagine how pleased I was :-)
So please, tell the Chefs, we did not just laugh a lot during our one week with them but we actually learned and applied :-) Please thank both Antonio and Alessio for me. I go home to Manila on Sunday and together with Annette and Rocky cook for our friends and family.
That's all for now, until our next course....
Ciao!
Best regards,
Bess
