Located just off the main street in Certaldo Alto, our students study in the Palazzo Striozzi Ridolfi, a space beautifully renovated into well equipped, functional art studios. The jewelry and enameling classes are offered during fall and spring semesters on our study abroad program and students from any university in the country can enroll for the same price! The student apartments are only a minute walk from the classrooms, sharing views of the Palazzo courtyard. For more information go to: http://www.ecu.edu/cs-cfac/italy/index.cfm

The Tuscany, one of the most beautiful Italian regions, is known throughout the world for its Landscapes and for the Works of Art that it houses (It is the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance). Six localities have been designated World Heritage Sites: the Historical Center of Florence, Siena, San Gimignano and Pienza, the Square of the Cathedral of Pisa with the Leaning Tower and the Val d'Orcia. It is in the central Italy and borders with Emilia Romagna (north), Marche and Umbria (east) and Lazio (South). The West coast is bathed from the Ligurian and Tyrrhenian Sea; here we can find the islands of the Tuscan archipelago including the island of Elba. The regional capital is Florence and the other provinces are: Arezzo, Grosseto, Livorno, Lucca, Massa, Pisa, Pistoia, Prato and Siena.
