Description

Florence provides students the possibility to see world class operas, concerts, art exhibits and festivals usually seen only in a larger city, all while holding on to its quaint Italian charm. The city is the students' classroom. Its rich history and culture are brought to life as students study first-hand the works of masters who shaped Western culture, such as Dante, Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo and Michelangelo. The study center, located in the 15th-century Alessandri Palace, is just a short stroll from the Duomo, the Ponte Vecchio, and the world renowned Uffizi Gallery. Students will study in a beautiful Renaissance palace which has facilities equipped with modern comforts and technology. Click on the headings below for detailed information about each program.
