Italian Cultural Studies in Studio Art, Art History, Language, Cuisine, Fashion , Filmmaking and Editing and Photography

Italian Cultural Studies in the Arts, Language, History, Cinema and Cuisine

Located in the heart of Tuscany, Florence is famous for the wealth of its artistic tradition, its spectacular landscapes and its exquisite cuisine. For students passionate about art, architecture, fashion, cuisine and everything in between, Florence is the ideal place for study—a living museum holding the world’s greatest treasures from the Renaissance era.



Our exploration of Florentine culture is designed for students of all academic backgrounds. Students have diverse options for course study, including studio art, art history and fashion design, in addition to Italian courses in language, cinema and cuisine. Every day is a new opportunity to experience la dolce vita first-hand. From eating the meal of a lifetime in Piazza Santa Croce to listening to nightly live music on Ponte Vecchio, Florence’s elegant, palace-lined streets make for the ultimate Italian pre-college experience.

HOUSING


Students and staff live together in an historic apartment residence. Every apartment in this renovated, secure building has a kitchen, private bathroom, bedrooms and living area. Perfectly situated in the historic center of Florence, steps away from the outdoor markets of San Lorenzo, our residence makes an ideal home for students who want to have the rich artistic and cultural heritage of Florence right at their doorstep.

DAY TRIPS


During weekend excursions, students will visit legendary Tuscan sites, including Siena, San Gimignano and the ancient Roman village of Fiesole. Students will spend a day at the seaside towns of Cinque Terre, where they can relax at the beach or take the famous pathway between the small villages to see some of the most impressive views in all of Italy.

THREE-DAY TRIP: Venice and Verona


Included in the Florence program is a three-day trip to the storied cities of Venice and Verona. With its looming fortresses, breathtaking architecture and history of naval dominance, Venice is the perfect location to examine the intersections of art, history and present-day Italian culture.

On the way to Venice, the group will stop by Juliet’s house in beautiful Verona, the setting for Shakespeare’s greatest love story, Romeo and Juliet. Before continuing on to Venice, the group will enjoy Verona’s annual opera festival and explore the city’s Roman amphitheater.


OPTIONAL TRAVEL EXTENSION: ROME

Students have the option of participating in a five-day travel extension to Rome for an additional fee. Space is limited, and extensions will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

Rome

From the Colosseum and the Forum to the Vatican and Piazza Navona, Rome has it all. Participating students will explore every corner of the historic center, throwing coins over their shoulders into the Trevi Fountain and sketching on the Spanish Steps. There is no other city like the Eternal City.
