Activities in Florence

The program offers students extra-curricular opportunities to learn more about Florence and Italian life.

Out-of-class activities in Florence vary from year to year, depending on the interests of the program participants and visiting professor. Excursions in recent years have included the opera, wine tastings, professional soccer games, and tours of glass-blowing factories in Murano.
