The school has its premises in a 19th century building in the center of Florence just in front of the Bargello National Museum. The area is close to the Cathedral and the Palazzo Vecchio, the town hall.
The student is literally immersed in the artistic, historical and cultural heart of Florence, the so-called "cradle of the Renaissance", within walking distance of the most prestigious monuments of the Romanesque, Gothic and the 15th century art.

Italian classes

Italian language courses. Accademia del Giglio organize intensive Italian language courses in small classes (max. 7 students) all year round for all levels, from beginner to advanced, according to the European Language portfolio. Beside these courses it is possible to attend more intensive programmes such as one-to-one tuition or home tuition (study at the teacher's home) or crash courses during weekends or weekdays. The school always places considerable emphasis on the quality of its teaching.

Drawing and Painting courses

Fine Arts courses. Students can be easily introduced into basic drawing and painting techniques or improve their artistic skills by studying traditional techniques such as oil, watercolour and fresco. Our school can also offer more in-depth art workshops and art seminars on one specific technique or subject, such as sketchbook, portrait, landscape, sanguine and other classical methods. Art courses are held either in English and in Italian.
