Bel Canto Institute 2021 Summer Programs in Florence, Italy are in a fluid state due to the pandemic. This means we are not accepting applications for 2021 at this time. With the United States Department of State advisory ‘Reconsider Travel to Italy’ and the current conditions in Italy and the United States, we are not able to move forward at this time. Safety of participants is always a major concern to this organization. Please check this site after January 1 for updates. We are hopeful.
