Florence

In Florence, students see Renaissance art and architecture at almost every turn. Carefully preserved over the centuries, Florence presents a harmonious union of medieval and Renaissance architecture.

With the guidance of their instructors, students view famous art works in galleries, museums, churches and public buildings. They examine Florentine architecture and travel to other Italian cities, such as Rome and Siena. Courses consider the influence of Italian history on the formation and preservation of its art.

Students also experience modern Italian culture as they study colloquial Italian and live in Italian homes.
