SAI Programs: Hospitality and Culinary Arts in Florence

Located in the historic center, Apicius International School of Hospitality offers the finest academic food and wine studies in all of Italy. Programs are designed either for people experiencing "the art of Italian cooking" for the first time or are experts in the field who wish to refresh and deepen their cultural and practical experience of Italian cooking. We consider cooking an art—a complete experience involving the mind, body, and soul in its appreciation.

A division of Florence University of the Arts, Apicius offers access to state-of-the-art facilities and world-class faculty. The school is located just moments away from such treasures as the Duomo, the Ponte Vecchio, San Lorenzo Church, and the Uffizi. Florence's main central, indoor food market is simply a stone's throw away and allows students to learn about and use the freshest, most enticing ingredients available in the city.
