Amore, sapore, colore
Why do people study Italian? And, why do so many foreigners choose to learn to speak Italian in Italy? Just hearing amore, sapore, colore (i.e. love, flavor and color) is more than enough to answer the first question and showcase a simple truth: no language is quite as piquant, lyrical, and colorful as Italian. And no other language is able to express feelings better than Italian.
Case in point, Italian is the language of music, poetry and art. Italian words describe delectable dishes, and Italian phrases explain how great wines come to life. So, it comes as no surprise that many decide to dive into this beautifully musical language.
Why learn to speak Italian in Italy?
But why do so many people long to learn to speak Italian in Italy instead of in their own country? Is it really that much different (and better)? Yes, it is! Because it gives one the chance to experience the local culture firsthand, and because Italian is a very intuitive, communicative, and heartfelt language: the more you hear it, the quicker you get the knack for it. So, while there is some homework to do anyhow, learning to speak Italian in Italy is easier because you’re surrounded by people speaking it, and you need to use it daily just to get around and buy what you need, such as food, for instance.
Drinking, eating and learning to speak Italian in Italy
On the subject of food and drink, have you ever considered the fact that enrolling in a language school in Italy grants you immediate access to unlimited daily cappuccinos, gelatos, and homemade ravioli? Imagine taking an intensive Italian course in Florence, for instance. You walk to class in the morning, and have a (heavenly) cappuccino on the way. Then you break for lunch and sample luscious pasta at the nearby trattoria. Once the daily strife is over, you roam the city center joints, for more (mouth-watering) local fare.
The more I think about it, the more I believe this is one of the reasons why so many foreigners choose to learn to speak Italian in Italy!

A medium-sized city is the best place to learn Italian in Italy
In my opinion, medium-sized cities are the best place to learn Italian in Italy, and a foreign student’s best bet: any larger and you risk losing a lot of time learning how to get around, any smaller and you risk boredom, and reduced stimuli. Florence, for example, is perfect: not too big, with all the main sights walking distance one from the other, and a breathtakingly beautiful historic center that is nothing short of an open-air museum. Enrolling in an intensive Italian course in Florence enables you to plunge into the Renaissance, reaping the benefits of being surrounded by captivating artwork.
