Make Florence Your Classroom

Florence is the "Cradle of the Renaissance”, a place where art and culture thrive, an easily navigable, photogenic, and diverse city, punctuated by elegant style, hedonistic culinary experiences, and historical architecture. Foodies, fashion enthusiasts, history buffs, art lovers, and those with a passion for language learning will feel at home living, studying, and interning abroad here.

CAPA Florence students study beneath stunning frescoes painted on the ceilings of Palazzo Galli-Tassi, a very centrally located 15th century palace in the Santa Croce neighborhood.
Through CAPA Florence, I was set up with an apartment with local Italian neighbors one block from the best gelato place in town, courses relevant to the city, other awesome students to share my experience with, a museum pass so I could see the David as many times as I wanted, and a supportive staff willing to help out with anything!

From our Resident Director

Lorenzo Ciccarelli

CAPA Florence Resident Director

There is nothing new I can tell you about Florence, because the rest you will discover on your own day after day, in an incredible escalation of cultural experiences. I was your age when I embarked on my first real study abroad immersion. It shaped my life and defined my career. I met some extraordinary people that I can list among my best friends today. I hope your experience is similar to my own. You are choosing Florence to be your destination and I’m sure Florence will become your second home.
