Piazzale Michelangelo. My teacher told me that Piazzale Michelangelo was very beautiful, so I went to Piazzale Michelangelo at dusk with the students on the same course. The students were on their last day, so it was a great memory to be able to see Florence together at the end. ミケランジェロ広場。先生にミケランジェロ広場がとても綺麗だと教えて頂き、同じコースの生徒さんと一緒に夕暮れのミケランジェロ広場へ。生徒さんがこの日最終日だったので、最後に一緒にフィレンツェを一望出来てとても良い思い出になりました。 To the sea. On my day off, I went to the sea called “Castglioncello” with students from another course. It’s a little far from Florence, about 2 hours, but it felt like a short trip and it was a lot of fun. 海へ。お休みの日に別のコースの生徒さんと「Castglioncello」という海へ行きました。フィレンツェから2時間程とちょっと遠いですが、小旅行の気分でとても楽しかったです。 Going to a Tuscan restaurant on your day off. On my way back from the sea, […]
1st week – Summer Course In addition to 4 cooking lessons a week, there were also art visits and cultural activities, so it was a very fulfilling week! In the summer, it’s light until night, so I went sightseeing with the students of the same course after the lesson♪I felt safe because I could ask the interpreter and the school staff anything I didn’t understand about life in Italy. it is complete. サマーコース1週間目 料理の週4レッスンに加えて、アートビジット、カルチャーアクティビティなどもあり、とても充実した1週間でした！夏は夜まで明るいのでレッスン後に同じコースの生徒さんと観光に行ったりもしました♪イタリア生活で分からないことは、通訳さんや学校のスタッフの方に気軽に質問が出来て安心して過ごすことが出来ました。 The apartment has a very cute interior with a different atmosphere from Japan, and the tension has risen! Living with children of different nationalities and ages is very fresh and fun ^^ アパートは日本とは違った雰囲気のとても可愛い内装でテンションが上がりました！国籍、年齢の違う子達との生活はとても新鮮で楽しいです ^^ Art Visit […]

I visited one of our students taking an internship course at an enoteca (wine bar). Kenzo came to Italy with his wife for 6-month internship until the end of February. He would gladly share his wine knowledge with you, so go find a bottle of your favorite wine while he is there. I enjoyed a Tuscan wine called “vivia le mortelle” with prosciutto. He learns about manufacturers and grape varieties from wine labels while he wipes wine bottles clean everyday. To become a sommelier, he studies the wine aroma using a special kit with many different wine aroma bottles. The same kit was sold at this wine bar. The price […]
Bar and Schiacciata Today I’d like to introduce a bar that I enjoyed recently. Ops Caffe, an associate shop of Tutto Bene Bar, is unexpectedly located in Coop, a suburban supermarket. It’s a bookstore as well, and the fact that it is located in a supermarket keeps this bar very busy with customers. It’s said that the busier the bar is, the better their caffe is, because their coffee beans stay fresh and fresh water is constantly going through the machines. At the banco (bar counter), customers disorderly call out their orders like “Coffee!” “I’m having macchiato!” “I’d like macchiato, too, but with more milk!” It amazes me to see […]
I interviewed Mr. Nishino in a short-term Gelato Internship Course. Mr. Nishino runs his own gelato shop in Japan. As he was willing to learn more about Italian gelato, he became a gelato intern for a month at a very popular gelato shop in Florence. The owner of the shop, Mr. Francesco, made an ice cream cake for him to celebrate his birthday on the very day of this interview. He came back to school with the cake and enjoyed the delicious treat with his school mates. (Mr. Nishino’s comments) This has been a great experience for me! Instead of studying on my own, I came all the way to […]
