Pixel, Florence: Pixel is based in Florence, the very hearth of Italian renaissance art. Pixel specialises in organising individual customised Italian language courses for foreigners. The courses are highly personalised and flexible, responding to the specific needs of the student or of small groups of students in terms of the training contents and time. The teacher is also chosen according to his/her specific skills and background so as to be able to carry out a language course that responds in its entirety to the student\'s specific interests.
The contents of the course organised by Pixel are entirely personalised: when enrolling the student specifies the type of language skills that he/she intends to acquire as well as his/her area of interest and is presented with a tailor-made programme which responds totally to his/her language learning objectives.
The dates and duration of the course are established by the student, according to the time available and the level of language skills which he/she intends to achieve. Courses can be scheduled during all period of the year. Each course can last from a minimum of 2 hours up until a maximum of 10 hours per day. Courses can be carried out every day or on alternate days from Monday to Saturday.

Located to the northeast of Florence in Settignano in northern Italy, the Tolomei Cultural Institute uses the city of Florence and its surrounding territory as a grand “laboratory” for language learning. Systematic reflection on the language and its structure is inserted into exciting communicative situations of discovery, suggested by the enormous literary and artistic patrimony of the city of Florence, which may well be considered the cradle of Italian culture. The language is considered as an instrument for communicating tradition, as a way of experiencing the world around us (culture, food, fashion, sport, etc.), and as a means for expressing beauty (literature, theatre, painting, architecture, music, etc.).
The method is based on a direct relationship between the student and teacher, whose aim is to provide each participant with the knowledge necessary for acquiring the language. The starting point of each lesson will be a real life communicative situation. Thanks to the historic and artistic setting of the surrounding territory, the language may be learned in conjunction with the discovery of the world of Florence.
