About Florence Many cities throughout the European continent are known for their beauty, elegance and historical importance, but few are quite as culturally rich as Florence. The city is literally composed of layers and layers of historical evidence left behind from the various inhabitants who chose this fertile and beautiful Arno River Valley to be their home. The entire city, although small, is modern and at the same time beautiful, like many other Italian metropolises. The best way to fully experience Florence is to go exploring. But Florence is not all historical monuments and museums, the city offers a great diversity of places to eat and shop. Our programs in Florence cover a wide variety of disciplines; there is something for nearly everyone in the curriculum, as you will see in the class schedules. Whatever your major or minor, a semester or summer in Florence is hard to beat and will be an experience you will cherish forever.
