Dante Alighieri school of language and culture, Gerace, comes highly recommended.
  For the past 38 years they have had a School of Languages, making them one of, if not, the oldest within their field here in the most southern part of Italy, Calabria. Over many years they have organised Study Breaks and Intensive Language Courses,while sending and receiving students to and from many parts of the world. In 2004 their students numbered 300 plus per year and they are still growing in strength.  To keep up with the modern times and teaching techniques, they have moved into their new premises in the Museum Civico in the heart of Gerace making sure the ambiance and atmosphere which surrounds the students,      
helps and encourages them to have an open mind and be relaxed with professional teachers whose qualifications speak for themselves. 
  Professor  Ferdinando Scaglione began his school in Locri in 1972 in a small room which he purchased for this venture, little did he know at the time that his school would become a role model for all others who would decide to try to imitate his proven teaching techniques and what would ultimately become the most successful language school in Calabria. He also created a radio show teaching English free to listeners who would otherwise be unable to join a class due to work or other such matters. Thousands of people from all walks of life had tuned in and learnt to speak perfect English, then going on to study in universities and colleges around Italy establishing lives and families they would have never thought possible without the assistance of Prof. Scaglione. 
  Today his daughter Prof.ssa Anita Maria Scaglione continues in his footsteps. Having been brought up with the same style, flare and enthusiasm which has been proved to be very successful, adding also her own signature to this literal and cultural story which started so many years previously. Herself, introducing Culinary Courses, Tours, Trekking and so on,accommodating the ever growing popularity of this beautiful region and what many people are describing as "a true cultural experience" .
