Florence - Post Report Question and Answers
How much of the local language do you need for daily living? Are local language classes/tutors available and affordable?
Given that Florence is a tourist attraction, there seems to be plenty of English being spoken around town. Knowing Italian, of course, helps, especially if you want to get off the beaten path. - Aug 2015
In the center, many people speak English, but outside and locally in shops one needs some Italian. The more you know, the more you can access the real Italy, like everywhere. - Sep 2007
