The Cisl Study Center stands on the hill rising from Florence towards Fiesole, close to S.Domenico. It is the college where the organization ‘s employees train and study at national level. The center was founded in 1951 with the aim of offering it’s own employees a professional and cultural training programme appropriate to the needs of the union.

In this way, CISL’s decision to be a union based on autonomy, pluralism, democracy and solidarity was strengthened.
The Study Center has a structure which for some time has provided a base for anyone needing the space and means necessary for personal enrichment on a cultural level, even beyond union training.

The beauty of the Study Center is due not only to the nearness of the historical centers of Florence and Fiesole, but also to its position in the middle of Tuscany’s green countryside.
All in all, a calm, attractive environment in which to study and live in a quiet atmosphere.

The Study Center currently has 20 double rooms and 34 single rooms all with private bathroom with shower . All rooms have recently been renewed and they now all have safety box, hairdryer and TV.
