Dear Friends,
Owned and managed by teachers, EUROPASS believes that
a pleasant and supportive atmosphere is fundamental for
a successful education. Accoglienza is at the core of our
institute.
What does that mean? It is Italian for “welcome” and defines
our teaching philosophy “personal and professional.” That
standard is embodied by our staff and reflected in our
method of instruction, the color scheme of each classroom
and the greenery that decorates the wrap-around terrace.
EUROPASS strives to make your experience educational
and above all memorable. We provide an intimate learning
atmosphere in the historical Palazzo Galletti, and employ
qualified staff that enjoys teaching, language, art and
Florence.
A stroll away from the Duomo, students have access to all
Florence has to offer. Whether it be tailoring a lesson to fit
you, planning an excursion to the Cinque Terre or finding
the right internship that enhances your culinary and Italian
language skills, we are sure that at EUROPASS you will find
a program or specialization that fits your interests and
needs.
Sincerely,
Barbara Livolsi and Enzo Boddi
Founders of EUROPASS

“When I think of Florence I think of golden yellow and burnt orange
colored row houses, lining cobblestone streets that are shared by old-
fashioned bikes and sleek Mercedes-Benzes. A city that is big enough
to lose oneself among the miniature jewellery shops that shape the
enchanting Ponte Vecchio and the collection of lustrous stores found
on Via Tornabuoni. Yet it’s small enough to unexpectedly encounter a
friend during an evening passeggiata.
This is the place where medieval meets modern in a picturesque backdrop
that over the ages has called artists, poets and great thinkers from
all over the world to settle and cultivate new ideas. Nestled close
to the hills of Chianti, it is the beneficiary of the favorable fruits,
wines and oils that are native to this region. It has a pulse all
its own, that flows from the vibrant outdoor San Lorenzo Market, the
thriving nightlife of Piazza Santa Croce and the alternative scene
of Piazza Santo Spirito.When I think of Florence, I think of beauty, creativity . . . when I
think of Florence I think of life.”
Natalie Trusso, Ohio U.S.A., journalist, student of EUROPASS 2007
