WELCOME TO THE FLORENCE 2011 BLOG!

Benvenuti! As the summer grows nigh, we quickly approach the beginning of a marvelous journey. A group of students are about to embark upon a life-changing adventure in and around one of the most beautiful and culturally rich cities on earth. While you may not be able to taste the pompelmo rossa granita at Gelateria di Neri near Santa Croce or buy your vine-ripened tomatoes at the bustling Mercato Centrale, this is the place to stay up with all the exciting news in Firenze! Stay tuned!  Much, much more to come!
