First Class Program in Italy’s Best Locations

BRESCIA City of Art
Brescia is located in the Lombardy region famous for its’ cheeses, wines and fine dining. We are just 10 minutes from Lake Garda and less than about an our from several major cities including Milan, Verona, Trento, Padua, Parma, etc. and within 2 hours of Florence and Venice. All are easily accessible by train for student chefs to visit on the weekends.

CALABRIA The Mediterranean Dream
Three thousand years of history and its location in the heart of the Mediterranean has positioned Calabria as a center for Mediterranean cuisine. Calabria's versatile history of Barons and Lords, conquerors and liberators, pirates and religion have all contributed to one of the most diversified cuisines in Italy. As a crossroads of culture, Calabria offers a unique insight into Italian regional Cuisine, and, most importantly, the different cultures that continually affect the evolution of their respective cuisines.

A highlight of this educational experience features dinners at some of Italy's most famous restaurants in order to give the professional student a complete view of fine European cuisine. The program is truly First Class and everything is included in one price inclusive of all meals with wines and accommodations at a fine hotel or exclusively in private villas.

Flexibility
Equipped with progressive facilities, the Institute is completely financially independent utilizing no government funding or corporate sponsorships ensuring efficiency and consistency. Since we are not sponsored, we are not obligated to endorse any products enabling client chefs to gain an objective knowledge of Italian products. Custom programs can be tailored to meet specific necessities.

Your source for Professional Italian Cuisine
Through the Institute's leadership of the Italian National Culinary Team, Italy has finally earned a position on the world stage. Through the Institute, instructors also publish some of the world's most prestigious culinary texts, produces culinary videocassettes and has developed the number one culinary software program in Italy.

We would be delighted to discuss any possibilities for a collaboration. Please consider us at your disposition for whatever you may need or for any inquiry or research that you may require. Thank you for your attention and we look forward to hearing from you.
