Focaccia and Harry Potter

I was making making Focaccia today and it made me start thinking 
about Italy.  I love Italy, there is just something- well- magical 
about it.  Maybe that is why I always thought that the country had a 
large enough wizard pop. to support a school.  Why then is the 
nearest school Beauxbatons, (which totally off the topic of this post 
I've always pictured as looking like Chambord in the Loire Valley.)
  
Does that mean that the Italian students would be expected to learn 
French?  If that was the case then the school would also have pupils 
from Spain, and Portugal, and probably  parts of Switzerland.  That's 
well and good but I don't buy it. There HAS to be more schools that 
just the three.  (I'm going to contradict myself but in book four it 
says these are just the main ones right?)

Of course I can't see the Irish going to Hogwarts either....
