Exploring cultures through lenses! Long term degree students recently visited Rifugio Digitale, an innovative photography exhibit here in Florence. Featuring 'Homecoming' by Kalpesh Lathigra, the display offered diverse perspectives on India's beauty and challenges as a country.

Divided into two sections, the exhibit features Laura Fauzzi's black and white ink pieces and colorful acrylic paintings. Inspired by dance and human energy, her art captures both fluidity and emotion. Originally from Sweden, Fauzzi now resides in Florence, where her work can be viewed in Corridoio Fiorentino until April 10th.

Students and guests gathered at the Palazzi Community Center for a cozy evening of tasting, learning, and savoring a variety of different olive oils from the local olive grove, Azienda Agricola Giacomo Grassi.

Caterina Perrone presents her book “Marie Laetitia Bonaparte Wise Rattazzi a Firenze,” shedding light on Florence's brief past as Italy's capital from 1865-1870. With help from fellow writers, friends and Perrone herself, the Palazzi Community Center played host to a captivating presentation for the public to enjoy.

The Conference will be held on December 1 and 2, 2023, from 9:30 am to 6:00 pm, in Florence, Italy. Inaugural activities will take place at the Gabinetto Vieusseux, in the Sala Ferri at Palazzo Strozzi, at 9:30am. Read more about our conference, and download the complete program for detailed information.

Around sunset on October 10th, someone is singing loudly, gorgeously, from the garden in the Fedora cafe. The song is the Trionfo di Bacco, or the “Triumph of Bacchus” by Lorenzo “the magnificent” de’Medici.

A remarkable opportunity for aspiring students looking to pursue a Master's degree this fall.
