The Società Dante Alighieri is the historic institution dedicated to spreading Italian language and culture around the world, and its Milan committee has been teaching Italian to foreigners for more than a century. Its school sits on Via Napo Torriani 10, a few steps from Milano Centrale station, and is the only language school in Milan to award the PLIDA certification of Italian proficiency, recognised by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. With courses for every level and a welcoming, international atmosphere, it is a popular base for students and professionals settling into life in Italy.

The Milan committee of the Società Dante Alighieri specialises in teaching Italian language and culture to foreigners, with courses at every level and a long tradition behind it. It is the only school in Milan to offer the PLIDA certification, recognised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and it can issue enrolment certificates that, where applicable, help with study-visa procedures. The school sits beside Milano Centrale, so the whole city, and much of Italy, is within easy reach by metro and rail. For courses, dates and enrolment, the official Società Dante Alighieri website is the best reference.
The school welcomes international students and exchange participants who come to Milan to learn Italian, often alongside study or work, with details available on its main site. Living in Milan as an international student means Italy's most cosmopolitan city: fashion, design, an intense cultural calendar, efficient public transport and a young population spread across several universities. Student associations and the city's exchange networks run constant events, trips and socials, which makes settling in quick and easy.

The Spotahome Rent Index 2026 gives clear price ranges for the neighbourhoods around the school.
| Accommodation type | Average price | Properties |
|---|---|---|
| Room in a shared flat | 670 € - 793 € | 660 |
| Studio | 1,190 € - 1,800 € | 199 |
| Whole apartment | 1,700 € - 2,325 € | 420 |
A room in a shared flat is by far the most popular choice near the school, with the largest number of listings and the friendliest prices for a student budget. If you would rather have your own space, a studio in Loreto is an affordable, self-contained option close to the school, with an average price around 1,190 € and bills included in a share of listings, so check what each monthly figure covers.

No, you do not need a local guarantor or an Italian payslip to book.
Having these ready in advance keeps the last step quick and smooth.
Your monthly rent always includes the rent, the property tax and the building service charges. Utilities like electricity, gas, water and Wi-Fi are included in a good share of the listings, but not all landlords add them: in some flats you'll see a fixed monthly amount on top. Personal items and food are never included. Optional services such as a parking spot or weekly cleaning are usually billed separately. Take a careful look at each listing's description to see exactly what each property covers.
