Testimonials

I do miss and loved doing art there at @accademiadelgiglio with really cool people!

Taking one-on-one Italian lessons via SKYPE for the past year with ADG has been an extraordinary experience in my learning development – one that has been both enriching and personal. The convenience of logging online from the United States to conference with a language school in the heart of Florence has allowed me to get further in my studies than I otherwise would have. I am fortunate that ADG offers this service where from the Untied States I can take advantage of learning not only from native Florentine speakers, but also from highly accredited instructors.

I really don't know how to explain how much this place is special. It was my home for the last two years, the people, teachers, Lorenzo, Cecilia and Roberto - absolutely amazing! If you serching for a small and professional place- Accademia del Giglio! My personal improvement - incredible!

I spend 2 incredible months at Accademia del Giglio! I started at a total basic level and ended not only with a lot of new techniques and skill, but also with a much bigger love for art than I had imagined. (more…)

I had a most wonderful month in the Accademia del Giglio, I love the teaching style with amazing teachers and the environment of the school. Can't wait to go back.

If you're interested in visiting Florence and learning more about the details of the art you're seeing, this is the course for you! It makes the experience so much more meaningful when you have an educated guide who can take you right into the heart of the Renaissance in the most art-rich city in the world!

I loved my experience at Accademia del Giglio! B. was an incredible instructor - she has a wealth of information and was an amazing resource when we toured the museums. Everyone was so sweet at the Accademia as well!

The school is really wonderful, very professional. I'm Cuban, it is an honor to be a student of a great teacher like A. and to be in a city that breathes ART. I learned a lot the two months I was there, strengthened my knowledge about art and gave me more confidence to work on my new projects.

Fantastic 16-hour seminar about the Renaissance in Florence. Bravissimi !

Ahh ... what lovely time I had during my 4 week stay in Florence in April 2018! One of the best part being the art classes at Accademia del Giglio. A. is a very talented artist who apart from being very professional as a teacher, also knows the art of being encouraging and inspiring to his students. I learned a lot but was also allowed to take my time and have relaxing fun with my projects. Moshen is also a very good teacher and I can certainly recommend these art classes to both aspiring artists and amateurs (like me!). The staff at ADG are wonderful as well, Lorenzo, Cecilia and Roberto - thank you all for making this part of my dream trip come true.
