Lorenzo de’ Medici – The Italian International

Institute has a campus in Tuscania. The school, an elegant and fortified building, is situated in the old town center near the medieval walls. It has a strate-gic position, being just inside one of the main gates of the ancient town. The building opens onto an ex-quisite internal courtyard with an adjacent lounge/meeting area.

Immersed in beautiful natural scenery on the edge of the Maremma area of Viterbo, Lake Bolsena, and the Thyrrenium Sea, Tuscania is only 50 minutes from Rome and two hours from Florence. This ideal city can inspire the development of both the spiritual and the creative potential of an individual.
