Over 100 NYU alumni and friends recently returned to NYU Florence to celebrate their time living and learning at the remarkable Villa La Pietra, which has welcomed 15,000 students over the past 30 years. Attendees enjoyed the city sights, learned from NYU Florence faculty, and revisited the olive groves, the espresso breaks, and the golden sunsets over the Tuscan hills they first experienced as NYU students. See the link in our bio for more photos from this beautiful reunion—the first at an NYU study away site.
*GIVEAWAY* To bring the spirit of NYU Florence to the larger NYU alumni community, we’re raffling off a bottle of Villa La Pietra’s limited olive oil from their fall 2025 harvest. Grown on the Villa La Pietra grounds, the olives are harvested by NYU students. Marketing students also design the label in a competition each year! To enter, like this post and tag an friend you'd love to travel with in the comments.
