A small Italian house with a long memory.

International Council is the corporate arm of Adiuva, an Italian language and education group founded in 1975. We have spent fifty years teaching languages in the same four cities. The school you find today is the same one that quietly trained engineers, executives, lawyers and researchers across pharma, luxury, finance and academic Italy for half a century.

What we believe

Languages at work are not a perk. They decide whether a project ships, a deal closes, a team retains its talent. We pick the few accounts we work with on purpose — depth over volume — and we keep the same program manager on each account for as long as the program runs.

What we run

Italian for international hires and their families. Executive coaching in 16 languages. Business, Legal and Public Speaking English. Test preparation for SAT, ACT, GMAT, GRE. Live faculty, four owned campuses (Milan, Florence, Mantua, Turin), and a digital platform with HR dashboard.

The group

International Council handles enterprise and corporate programs. Our sister school Accademia di Italiano handles private students who want to study Italian weekly — Bildungsurlaub, CILS / CELI preparation, student visa programs. Same group, same standards, different teams.
