The undergraduate programme: A small but intensive program, with around 30-40 students who live with Italian families, and attend the courses at Palazzo Capponi, in the midst of the lively "old-Florence" Santo Spirito neighbourhood. The curriculum highlights the Humanism and Renaissance tradition of Florence through art and literature courses, as well as focusing on 20th and 21st century Italy and Europe through film and European Integration courses.
