The Borromean Islands

In about an hour by train from Milan, you can reach Stresa, the “pearl of Lake Maggiore,” famous for its historic hotels, elegant gardens, and incredible views between the lake and the mountains. From there, boats depart for the Borromean Islands, one of the most scenic spots in Northern Italy.Each island has its own atmosphere. Isola Bella stands out for the Borromeo Palace and its gardens filled with statues, obelisks, fountains, and white peacocks. Isola Madre is known for its exotic vegetation, rare flowers, and even free-roaming parrots, while Isola dei Pescatori still preserves the charm of a small lakeside village with restaurants and houses right on the water.

Desenzano del Garda and Sirmione

Less than an hour from Milan, Desenzano del Garda is one of the best destinations for a spring day trip. It is the most lively town on Lake Garda, with a beautiful lakeside promenade and many outdoor bars. It’s worth walking to the picturesque Old Port (Porto Vecchio) or climbing up to Desenzano Castle for a view over the lake.
From Desenzano, you can easily reach Sirmione, famous for the Scaligero Castle and its narrow lakefront streets. Entering the historic center is already spectacular, as you cross the castle bridge surrounded by turquoise water.

Bergamo

Bergamo is one of the most beautiful cities near Milan. In about 50 minutes by train, you arrive in a city full of atmosphere, divided between the modern lower town and the famous Upper Town (Città Alta). You can walk up to the historic part or take the funicular, which already offers a beautiful view over the city rooftops.
Once you arrive, you’ll find cobbled streets, small squares, and Venetian walls that are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
There’s also a fun fact for ice cream lovers: the stracciatella flavor was born in Bergamo. You can visit the historic gelateria La Marianna, where this flavor was invented in the 1960s almost by accident, by mixing cream gelato with melted chocolate.

Verona

Verona is another perfect destination for a day trip from Milan. The city of love can be reached in about two hours by train, but the journey is absolutely worth it.
Of course, everyone knows Romeo and Juliet, but Verona is much more than that. The historic center is full of beautiful views, outdoor cafés, and lively squares such as Piazza delle Erbe, considered by many one of the most beautiful squares in Italy.
The symbol of the city is the Verona Arena, one of the best-preserved Roman amphitheaters in the world, still used today for concerts and shows. Climbing the stands gives you a wonderful view over the rooftops and makes it easy to understand why Verona has such a special atmosphere.

Turin

Turin is a city with a unique charm, elegant and slightly austere. Throughout its history, it was the first capital of the Kingdom of Italy, a symbol of cinema and the automotive industry, and today it remains one of the most interesting cultural centers in the country.
Here you can walk under historic arcades and discover squares surrounded by royal palaces. Cultural highlights include the National Cinema Museum inside the Mole Antonelliana and the famous Egyptian Museum, one of the most important in the world.
But Turin is not only architecture: it is also a city to enjoy slowly, stopping in its historic cafés. You should definitely try the bicerin, a traditional Turin drink made of coffee, chocolate, and milk cream, perfect for an afternoon break.

If you want to explore Turin and Milan in more depth, remember that Scuola Leonardo da Vinci offers the chance to study in multiple locations through the Italian Tour course.

A Springtime Haven: The Municipal Rose Garden

Among these hidden gems is the Municipal Rose Garden of the Aventine Hill (Roseto Comunale), one of the most enchanting corners of the Roman spring. Perched above the Circus Maximus and overlooking the Palatine Hill, the rose garden offers a unique view of the city’s ancient heart. But what truly captivates visitors is the atmosphere: intense colors, delicate fragrances, and a rare silence for a European capital.

A Journey Through History

The history of the Rose Garden is deeply rooted in antiquity. As early as the 3rd century BC, this area was dedicated to the goddess Flora, celebrated during the Floralia festivals. In later centuries, the land became an orchard and a vineyard, eventually serving as the cemetery for Rome's Jewish community. Today, this past is still honored in the garden's pathways, which are designed in the shape of a menorah, the traditional seven-branched Jewish candelabrum.

The current garden was established in 1950, thanks to the dedication of American Countess Mary Gayley Senni. A passionate botanist, she helped make Rome an international benchmark in the world of roses. Today, the garden hosts over a thousand varieties from all over the globe, where ancient, botanical, and modern roses coexist amid stunning colors and rich scents.

Rare Species and International Prestige

Walking along the paths, visitors can admire truly extraordinary species, such as the Rosa Chinensis Viridiflora with its green petals, or the Mutabilis, which changes color as it blooms. The Rose Garden also hosts the prestigious "Premio Roma" (Rome Prize), an important international competition dedicated to new rose varieties.

A Green Sanctuary for Students

For many international students at the Scuola Leonardo da Vinci, these places represent much more than just a sightseeing stop. Rome's gardens and parks become spaces to walk together, relax after classes, practice speaking Italian, or simply study immersed in nature. In spring, it is common to see groups of students sitting in the shade with their books and notebooks, or capturing photos of the city's floral details.

In this way, Rome reveals a side completely different from the crowded, monumental one everyone knows. It is a slower, more authentic, and everyday side made of nature, light, and shared moments. And it is precisely in places like the Aventine Rose Garden that many students discover one of the most intimate and surprising versions of the Eternal City.

Penelope, May is a special month for you. What is the atmosphere like at the Centro Puccini during these days of reopening?

Penelope Poggi: Reopening is always an exciting moment, full of positive energy and surprises. What fills us with joy are the very welcome visits from students who return to see us every year. They do so to find that familiar, welcoming, and kind environment that defines our school. It’s like welcoming home old friends.

Viareggio is historically linked to the sea, but your educational offer seems to embrace a much wider area. What is the secret of your success?

P.P.: For years, the combination of "sea and study" was our trademark, and it is still a winning formula. However, in recent years, another captivating combination has been gaining ground: sea, mountains, and study. Our students are discovering the Apuan Alps and their numerous hiking trails with a sense of wonder. It is a true immersion into pristine nature, opening up incredible horizons and views that stretch from the mountain peaks all the way to the large protected oasis of Massaciuccoli. It is a complete sensory experience.

Besides nature, is there a logistical aspect that makes Viareggio a perfect base for a foreign student?

P.P.: Absolutely, yes. A key element is the city's strategic location. Viareggio is extremely easy to reach by any means of transport and serves as the ideal starting point for visiting all of Tuscany, Liguria, and beyond. In just a short time, you can reach cities of art or historic villages, turning a study vacation into a true cultural tour.

For those looking for pure relaxation instead, what does the "Viareggio lifestyle" offer during the language course?

P.P.: The "sea-study" mix remains ideal for those who want to learn while relaxing. Here, you can fully enjoy the Dolce Vita: admire a beautiful sunset, sunbathe, or go for a swim. Viareggio offers the typical tranquility of a small seaside town: you can walk or ride a bike, losing yourself in that holiday atmosphere that floats everywhere. It is the perfect context for learning to flow naturally and without stress.

Why Choose Centro Puccini / Scuola Leonardo da Vinci Viareggio?

• A Family Welcome: you are not just a number, but part of a community.
• Landscape Variety: from the beaches of Versilia to trekking in the Apuan Alps.

If you walk the streets of Florence on a sunny day, you'll see a recurring symbol on historic buildings, manhole covers, and even garbage trucks. It's the Florentine Lily. But did you know that "lily" isn't actually a lily?

Today, we discover the history of the city's symbolic flower and an incredible, enchanting place that opens its doors for only a few weeks a year: the Iris Garden.

A Botanical Error That Became Legend

The first thing to learn is a little secret: the symbol of Florence is technically an Iris (botanically Iris Germanica Fiorentina). In the Middle Ages, this plant grew wild along the city walls and in the Arno Valley.

The connection between the flower and the city is ancient, but the colors have changed for political reasons: originally, the city of Florence's symbol was a white flower on a red background. After 1251, following the many battles between the Guelphs and Ghibellines, the victorious Guelphs decided to reverse the colors to distinguish themselves from their exiled enemies. Since then, the official symbol has been the Red Lily on a white field.

Linguistic curiosity: Although botanically it is an iris, Florentines affectionately call it "Il Giglio" (The Lily).

The Iris Garden: A Limited-Time Treasure

There is a place in Florence that is shrouded in mystery for much of the year. It is located right next to Piazzale Michelangelo, but is protected by a gate that remains closed for eleven months of the year.

The Iris Garden opens only in May (this year from April 25th to May 20th). Why? Because it is the flower's blooming season, and the Italian Iris Society wants to showcase the garden in its full splendor. If you go there, you can look up and see Brunelleschi's Dome rising on the horizon. It's one of the most beautiful photo spots in the city.

Walking along the paths of this hillside garden, you won't just find the classic purple iris. There are over 1,500 varieties of irises from all over the world.

The Iris Garden was founded in 1954 to host an annual international competition for the best iris varieties, the "Firenze Prize." Every year, botanists from all over the world send their bulbs to Florence to participate in this prestigious competition.

The Iris of Florence: Although the city's color is purple, you can admire the original variety of the Florentine iris, a pure white with blue hues.

Why visit if you study Italian?

Visiting the Iris Garden is not just a tourist activity, but an immersion in "Florence." Here are three reasons why every student at our school should attend:

• Vocabulary enrichment: You'll learn terms related to nature, colors (indigo, lilac, crimson), and medieval history.
• Contact with locals: The garden is managed by passionate volunteers who love to tell anecdotes about the city. It's the perfect opportunity to practice conversation!
• Study break: After hours of grammar and irregular verbs, there's nothing better than the scent of flowers and the silence of a hidden garden to recharge the mind.

If you're in Florence in spring, don't miss this opportunity. The Iris Garden is like the Italian language: elegant, colorful, and rich in history.

Located in a strategic position in the heart of the city, our school is just steps away from the pine forest and a few minutes' walk from both the sea and the train station. It is the perfect starting point to welcome students from all over the world for a unique learning experience, where Italian language studies blend with the relaxation and beauty of the Versilia coast.

Nature, Sport, and Culture: The Authentic Face of Viareggio

Studying in Viareggio is about more than just sitting in a classroom; it’s about experiencing the Italian lifestyle to the fullest. Here is what awaits every student starting from May 4th:

• Experience the Sea: May is a magical month, the time when beaches begin to liven up with the first umbrellas and sun loungers. The days get warmer, and for the boldest, it’s already time for the first dip of the season. Enjoy a stroll along the promenade or a sunset aperitivo with your classmates.
• Nature and Well-being: The proximity to historic pine forests offers an oasis of cool and tranquility. It is the perfect environment for those who love cycling in nature, jogging, or simply reading a book in the shade of the pines between lessons.
• The Magic of Carnival: Even out of season, the city’s creative soul is very much alive. You can visit the Cittadella del Carnevale and its Museum—a unique place to discover the secrets of the master float-builders and the history of one of Europe’s most spectacular traditions.

Exploring the Surroundings: Tuscany at Your Fingertips

Thanks to the nearby train station, Viareggio is the perfect base for unforgettable excursions:

• Cities of Art: Beyond nearby Lucca—wonderful to explore by bike—and the famous Piazza dei Miracoli in Pisa, you can easily reach Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance.

• Between Mountains and Sea: For hiking enthusiasts, the hinterland offers stunning trails. In addition to the peaks of the Apuan Alps, you can discover the Camaiore area, with its characteristic hilltop villages and paths immersed in greenery, perfect for total immersion in nature.

Flavors and Traditions: The Food & Wine Experience

Food is culture, and in Viareggio, you’ll be spoiled for choice:

• Local Street Food: An unmissable experience is tasting the classic "fritto misto" at the Barchina del Fritto, moored along the pier. It is the most authentic way to savor the sea, served directly in a paper cone among the fishing boats.
• The Central Market: A landmark for those who want to dive into daily life, buy fresh ingredients, and perhaps enjoy cooking typical dishes with fellow students.

Neighborhood Life and Major Events

Becoming part of our community means experiencing the city's energy. Beyond Carnival, the Viareggio summer is packed with cultural appointments and festivals.

Scoppio del Carro

One of the most iconic events is the Scoppio del Carro (Explosion of the Cart), held every year on Easter Sunday. This centuries-old tradition features a richly decorated cart parading through the historic center to Piazza del Duomo, where a symbolic fireworks display marks the beginning of the Florentine spring.

Maggio Musicale Fiorentino

During April and May, Florence also hosts the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, one of Italy’s most prestigious classical music and opera festivals. With performances held in stunning venues, the festival attracts world-renowned artists and audiences from across the globe.

Gardens not to be missed

For nature lovers, the Horticulture Garden (Giardino dell’Orticoltura) becomes a must-visit spot in spring. Seasonal events dedicated to plants, sustainability, and botanical design make it the perfect place to enjoy the colors and scents of the season.

Spring is also the ideal time to explore Florence’s historic gardens, such as the Boboli Gardens or the Rose Garden, both offering breathtaking views and spectacular blooms. A walk through these green spaces is a truly unforgettable experience.

As temperatures rise, outdoor events take center stage: artisan markets, food festivals, and cultural initiatives fill squares and neighborhoods, offering an authentic glimpse into local life.

Spring is undoubtedly one of the best times to discover Florence, where history and beauty come together effortlessly.

1. Casa Verdi – Piazza Michelangelo Buonarroti, 29

Casa Verdi is much more than just a residence: it’s the home of one of Italy’s greatest composers, Giuseppe Verdi (1813–1901). In the final years of his life, Verdi created this place as a haven for elderly musicians, where they could continue living surrounded by music.

Today, the house preserves the atmosphere of that era: original furniture, letters, sheet music, and instruments tell the story of the maestro’s daily life. Walking through its rooms, you can almost hear echoes of great operas like La Traviata and Rigoletto.

2. Palazzo Morando – Via Sant’Andrea, 6

In the heart of Milan’s famous fashion district, Palazzo Morando tells the story of the city like few other places can. Donated to the city in 1945 by Lydia Caprara Morando Attendolo Bolognini, this historic residence showcases Milan through clothing, accessories, prints, and vintage photographs.

Its art gallery highlights the city’s urban evolution, while the noble apartments furnished with original pieces, immerse visitors in elegant 18th-century life.

3. Villa Necchi Campiglio – Via Mozart, 14

Between the two World Wars, Milan shone with elegance and social life, and Villa Necchi Campiglio was one of its most exclusive residences. The Necchi family, successful industrialists in textiles and sewing machines, hosted aristocrats and high society here.

Designed in the early 1930s by Piero Portaluppi, the villa represented a new way of living: spacious, bright, and modern. It was the first home in Milan to feature a private swimming pool. The original interiors, with refined furnishings and design details, still reflect the glamorous lifestyle of the time.

4. Bagatti Valsecchi Museum – Via Gesù, 5

If you love the Renaissance, this is a must-see. The museum was born from the extraordinary passion for art of the brothers Fausto Bagatti Valsecchi and Giuseppe Bagatti Valsecchi, who transformed their home into a 16th-century-style residence inspired by Lombard Renaissance houses.

Today, it remains one of the best-preserved house museums in Europe, a fascinating place for anyone interested in art and history.

5. Pinacoteca Ambrosiana – Piazza Pio XI, 2

Founded in 1618 by Federico Borromeo, the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana is one of Milan’s oldest galleries. It was created with a forward-thinking idea: making art accessible to everyone.

Today, the museum houses over 1,500 works. Here you’ll encounter three giants of art: Leonardo da Vinci, Caravaggio, and Raphael. Highlights include the Codex Atlanticus, the Portrait of a Musician, Basket of Fruit, and the cartoon for The School of Athens.

Don’t miss the evocative Sala Federiciana with its original library and a curious detail: a lock of hair belonging to Lucrezia Borgia, which became a kind of 19th-century artistic relic. Located between the Duomo and Via Torino, it’s perfect to combine with a walk through Milan’s historic center.

The Countess of Castiglione was one of the most admired women in the nineteenth century. She had married the Count of Castiglione despite not being in love with him. Thanks to her charm, she seduced, among others, one of the most important men of the time, the Emperor of France, Napoleon III. 

To all intents and purposes, she was a spy for Count Cavour and the Kingdom of Sardinia, which had participated in the Paris Congress with the other European states, despite not being very powerful at the time.

Considered one of the most beautiful and clever women in Europe, she was a socialite in Turin, Paris and briefly in London, keeping up appearances with a very high standard of living and sparing no expense when it came to her attire.

One of her most famous outfits was the so-called Queen of Hearts dress, which featured a heart embroidered in correspondence of her groin: a real scandal!

When the capital of the Kingdom of Italy was moved from Turin to Florence, the Countess of Castiglione went back to being one of King Victor Emanuel II’s mistresses, although in this case a peasant girl, the Beautiful Rosina, was the king’s favourite. 

She was also famous for the over 400 photographic portraits which showed her in her unique, sometimes very provocative style. The Countess of Castiglione, in fact, had posed for a well-known French photographer, choosing to show her legs from her knees down: a real scandal for the time!

Rumour has it that during the Second War of Independence, she became extremely rich thanks to financial espionage, speculating on the stock market and making substantial profits: a really unscrupulous woman! 

After a glorious life, she retired in Paris and to leave a lasting memory of her beauty, made a collection of her photos to be exhibited during the 1900 Universal Exhibition in Paris, but, unfortunately, she died suddenly a few months earlier.

Would you like to find out more about the Countess of Castiglione and other famous people from Turin? Come to our Secret Turin tour, organised by our partners from Somewhere Tours: you will get to know Virginia Oldoini, the Countess of Castiglione, and experience her life, spent between espionage and betrayal: a true spy story of the Italian Risorgimento.

We look forward to seeing you in Turin at the Italian courses of the Scuola Leonardo. In addition to attending our Italian lessons, you will be able to find out everything about the city, including scandalous and interesting anecdotes from the history of Turin, thanks to our free-time activities.

For any doubt or information, contact us, and we’ll be happy to help. We are waiting for you in Turin for your next Italian course in Italy and to find out numerous curiosities about Italy!
