The Istituto di Lingua e Cultura Italiana "Michelangelo", commonly referred to as Istituto Michelangelo, is a privately-owned Italian language school[1] situated in the centre of Florence, Its main public are adult learners who wish to begin or perfect their knowledge of the Italian language. The school was founded in 1975 by two graduates of Florence University: Domenico Cancellieri and Mauro Buffi.

The Institute is accredited by the Region of Tuscany.[2]

The Institute's headquarters are in Via Ghibellina in Palazzo Gherardi, the XVth century former home of the Gherardi family. The Institute moved to its present location in 1980 from its original premises in Via Orsanmichele, not far from the Cathedral of Florence.

Besides the Italian language, the school also teaches several Italian culture courses, such as Italian cooking and history of art and also runs a fine arts department, offering painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, mosaic, fashion design and photography courses.
