As you
walk the narrow and hand-hewn streets, absorb the magnificence of the
medieval and renaissance architecture and the beauty of the sculptures
that adorn walls and stand in the loggias of their grand piazzas.
Learn the way of Italian living from the lively and intellectual Florentines as you rub elbows with them in small "caffe" bars while enjoying the local cappuccino and panini. Your Italian ‘Life and Culture’ instructor will help set the stage and serve as your ‘cultural informant’.
