In the 1920s and 1930s the Institute developed its language teaching and in an agreement with the University of Florence became responsible for all its English language teaching, thus producing a generation of English language teachers for Italian schools. The library’s growth in the same period was largely thanks to donations from individuals and publishers. Summer Schools were organised, taking Italian students to London and bringing British students to Florence. In May 1940, following Italy’s entry into the war, the Institute was forced to close. In a letter to The Times published in July 1940, Janet Trevelyan spoke of the ‘some far distant date’ when ‘in a different Italy’ the British Institute, with its ‘magnificent libary’, ‘might still find work to do.’ And this it did. The Institute reopened formally in 1946, still complete with its library which had been protected during the war, and in the years that followed the Institute further developed its courses, in particular establishing its art history courses, and has continued to remain true to its original aims.
