As one of world's best-preserved medieval cities Siena is a feast for the senses and an essential stop on every Tuscan itinerary. In the lively, medieval streets you will find sweet-smelling patisseries, tempting restaurants with the freshest Tuscan specialties and craft shops. The historic districts that the city is rich of are so well preserved that you imagine yourself in the 17th century when you walk through them. Siena is like an open-air museum of Gothic architecture and art. The small town has about 50,000 inhabitants and is built on three hills and surrounded by well-preserved city walls. You will find the world's most unique squares here, Piazza del Campo for example, a shell shaped square including scalloped edges. The world-famous horse race 'the Palio of Siena' which takes place twice a year is characteristic of the Sienese identity, history and culture and attracts visitors from all over the world. If you are following a language course in Siena, it is highly recommended to stick around a little longer when your course is finished. Siena is an excellent starting point to discover the rest of Tuscany. Think of visiting nearby charming cities such as San Gimignano and Pienza and some Tuscan wine regions such as Montalcino and Montepulciano.

I attended group classes and afternoon activities here for two weeks in February before the school had to close because of the pandemic. Classes were fun, interesting and varied. The teachers were very smart and nice. There were didactic lessons, games, conversation, and one day we even went to the weekly market together. The afternoon activities included watching an Italian movie, a meal at a local restaurant and a tour of the Saint Catherine convent. Once it was clear that the country was going to lock down, the school handled the situation and communications in a very clear and professional manner. I will be back to Siena and the school whenever Americans can go to Italy again! Next time I will find lodging recommended by the school though. In February I found my own apartment and it wasn’t great. I heard from other students that the rentals recommended by the school were very interesting and convenient. |

I spent two weeks in Siena last fall and had the most remarkable experience at Dante Alighieri. I have taken Italian languages courses in Italy several times before, but the experience at Dante Alighieri was far superior. The instructors are EXCELLENT and the staff couldn't be more helpful and accommodating. When Covid struck, I began taking on line lessons with Angela, my teacher from last fall. We have continued for the last four months and I will hopefully continue this wonderful experience well into the future. I am finally getting the hang of it and loving every minute thanks to Dante Alighieri Siena! |

I came here with the University of Delaware as a study abroad student. I really enjoyed the experience. Siena is a small, quiet town but its full of history and culture. The staff at the school were beyond helpful and inviting upon our arrival. We were all quite nervous being in a new environment but they helped us become more confident and open with the learning process. If youre looking to improve your fluency and immerse yourself in a new culture, I would recommend this school for anyone. |
