The Semester in Florence program offers students various excursions to places all over Italy, including flagship stores of Italian brands and fashion museums. This summer semester, SIF students visited Eataly and the Ferragamo museum with their marketing class.
Founded in 2007, Eataly is a chain of food halls that include a variety of restaurants, food and beverage counters, bakeries, retail items, and a cooking school.
There is so much to do at Eataly!
Let’s stop and relax at the café with a cup of coffee all together first. Surprise surprise: you can also have an iced coffee!!
Ready for the lecture? Yes, but before it we stroll around the store and take a look at all the counters (cold cuts, meat, bakery), the wine section, the restaurant and the pizzeria . All the best of Italian food in one spot downtown Florence!
Ferragamo is an Italian luxury fashion house headquartered in Florence. They specialize in apparel, footwear, and accessories.
Here is what students had to say about the excursion:
“It was the first time for many of us to visit a fashion designer museum! I didn’t know what to expect, but it was a really interesting exhibit, very well curated, telling a fascinating story about Italian culture, art and craft.”
SIF alumni, what was your favorite excursion that you did while in Florence?
