Raise your glass for 25 years of excellence abroad! 🇮🇹

25 years ago we welcomed our first 31 students. This past spring, we welcomed over 550. It took hard work, constant growth, and a lot of people who believed in what we were building.

This week we celebrated in Florence alongside our Faculty-Led programs, some of whom have been with us for many years, and some who are just beginning their journey with us. Their trust in what we do has been instrumental in making ISI Florence what it is today, and we could not be more grateful.

So here's to all of you who worked with passion to promote excellence abroad and to a bright future full of great new adventures. Cheers! 🥂❤️

Hi there travelers! ✈️

Even though our summer students are only here for six weeks, they are already planning their weekend trips (honestly, fair).

With so many flights and airports to choose from, it can get a bit confusing figuring out what’s actually the best option in terms of time and money.

Together with our in-person Travel Workshop, we put together a simple guide on how to get to Italy’s main airports from Florence.

Save it for your next trip! ✉️

And just like that, summer session is officially underway! ☀️ Over the past week, we’ve been welcoming our new summer students across all our programs. Not even terrible weather and rerouted flights could stop us 💪🏼

Today was day one of classes, and we are so excited for the next six weeks with this group!

Studying abroad teaches you way more than what's in your textbooks 🌍

Our Spring 2026 Florence student Samantha Saffer shared some of the biggest lessons she picked up during her time abroad, and honestly, we couldn't agree more!

Learning to be flexible, giving yourself grace when things go wrong, and actually exploring the city you're living in all adds up to something you can't get in a classroom.

Save this if you're heading abroad soon! ✈️

Spring break on film! 🎞️🌷
This past spring break we asked a few of our students to document their adventures, and the results are incredible!

Where did you go for spring break? ✈️

Springtime in Florence is magical, but it also brings large crowds. If you’re looking for a quieter moment away from the main sights, while still staying in central Florence, don’t miss Giardino dell'Orticultura! 🌷

This beautiful garden is the perfect place to slow down: you can exercise, study, or just sit in the sun for a while.

Green spaces in central Florence can be hard to come by, which makes this one especially worth knowing. It’s a wonderful way to spend some time outdoors while still being in the heart of the city. 🇮🇹

Join our student Julia MacLaughlin (PSU) on a class fieldtrip in Florence! ⚜️
Fieldtrips are an important part of the study abroad experience. With smaller classes, students don’t just stay in the classroom, they learn by moving through the city, visiting places connected to their coursework, and experiencing Florence as part of their learning environment.

During this fieldtrip, the class visited Dini Caffè, a historic coffee roastery in Florence, where they learned about coffee production, roasting, and the role coffee plays in Italian daily life ☕

And here’s what you missed in March! 🌷⭐️
 
With just one month left in the semester, we’re looking back at everything that made March so special. The days are getting longer (thank you daylight savings time!) and the weather is finally getting warmer, so our students are making the most of their last weeks in Florence, exploring the city and soaking up the sun.
 
We can’t believe how fast the Spring semester has flown by, but we’re excited to make the most of this last month 🫶🏻🇮🇹
