Accademia Leonardo is one of the most popular italian language schools in Italy, and it is focused on the study italian abroad in italy programs.
Accademia Leonardo is located in a historical, noble building located in the historical centre in Salerno, a town of medieval origin located on the picturesque Amalfi Coast.

Salerno is a vibrant Italian city where visitors get to experience the real southern Italian life. They are obligated to learn to speak in italian because the locals in Salerno barely speak English, or any other language other than Italian. In Salerno, life is very simple; people are very friendly and take care of each other. Thus, studying the italian language in Salerno, in our italian language schools, means to learn and to speak the Italian language in a small city where it's very convenient to practise the italian language, and to meet and mingle with the Italian people.

Studying italian language in Salerno is different than study abroad in Florence or than study abroad in Rome. It will be a different experience than study italian in italian language schools in Rome or in italian language schools in Florence. Salerno is a tipical southern italian city where most of the people only speak italian language.

Our school of italian language, Accademia Leonardo has a partnership with the Provincial Borough of Education (Assessorato alla Scuola della Provincia di Salerno), the Provincial Tourist Borough (EPT – Ente Provinciale del Turismo di Salerno), the Campania Region Borough and with the Major House of Salerno (Comune di Salerno).
