Lake Como Summer School is a unique experience, open to all, which brings together the great european tradition of Summer Schools with Italy's great cultural heritage: literature, visual arts, music, the architecture of the Villas and gardens of Lake Como (which have already been important film sets) but also cooking, golf, learn to fly seaplane, trekking and walking through panoramic landscapes, singing, painting and art course all set in a unique context embued with the italian spirit.

The Adenauer Foundation owners of the villa have agreed to host the summer school in order to allow their corner of paradise to be known through courses held entirely in english run by tutors who have been chosen not only for their professional competence but also for their ability to transmit their love of their subject.
