Come study with us this fall in the spectacular and exciting city of Florence, Italy! Based in the heart of Tuscany, this program offers students an immersive experience of Italian culture through courses and activities exploring communication and cultural practices, literature, media, travel, and of course, food! With sustainability as our theme, we’ll also learn about the Slow Food movement, which was born in Italy. During the semester students will visit Slow Food producers in and around Florence, sampling artisanal chocolate, gelato, cheese and other products. We’ll also travel to other stunning historic Tuscan cities like Siena and Lucca. An additional highlight of the program will be a 3-night excursion to the northern region of Italy, when we attend an international cheese and sustainability festival where hundreds of food producers from around Europe will share their culinary delights! Students live in apartments in the historic center of Florence and take their classes with CofC faculty.
