Italian ballet is a term used to describe the training methods and aesthetic qualities seen in classical ballet in Italy. Italy has a long history with ballet, and it is widely believed that the earliest predecessor of the modern dance form originated in the Italian courts of the Renaissance, before becoming popularised in France. Today, Italian ballet is recognised for two leading methods, the Cecchetti method, devised by Enrico Cecchetti and the training system of the La Scala Theatre Ballet School, the country's most prestigious professional ballet school.
