Back where it all began! 📍

We are delighted to welcome back FSU Florence alumna Jessica Rapsys, who studied abroad with us in 2016 at our former study center on Via Borgo degli Albizi.
During her first year abroad in Florence, Jessica studied Italian with Professor Luca Bufano and immersed herself in the language and culture that continue to inspire her today.

With family ties to Tuscany through a home in Barga, Italy has remained a special part of Jessica’s life, and she hopes to continue her studies here in the future.

Thank you, Jessica, for stopping by and sharing your Florence memories with us.
It's always wonderful to see our alumni return and reconnect with the city that helped shape their journey.

Benvenuta di nuovo, Jessica! The doors of FSU Florence are always open to you. ❤️

Mercato delle Pulci

Some places have a way of bringing you right back to Florence.
The Mercato delle Pulci is one of them.

Tucked among antiques, vintage treasures, and stories waiting to be discovered, it captures the timeless charm that makes Florence unforgettable.

For FSU Florence alumni, a stroll through these aisles is more than shopping. It's a return to mornings spent exploring the city, finding hidden gems, and making memories that still feel close, no matter how many years have passed.

Postcards from Florence
A Taste of Florence, One Neighborhood Shop at a Time📍

Long before Google Maps and Instagram recommendations, FSU Florence students learned to navigate the city through its neighborhood shops.

The smell of freshly baked bread drifting from the fornaio 🍞
The rich aroma of coffee beans at the torrefazione ☕
The familiar faces at the pescheria 🐟
and other historic botteghe that made Santa Croce feel less like a study abroad destination and more like home.

For many alumni, these places were woven into everyday life in Florence. They were the backdrop to morning routines, conversations in Italian, last-minute grocery runs, and the small moments that became some of the most cherished memories of a semester abroad.

As you look through these photos, we hope they bring you back to those cobblestone streets, favorite corners, and daily rituals that made Florence unforgettable.

Alumni, tell us:
Which Santa Croce shop was your favorite when you studied in Florence?
Was it the bakery where you picked up a warm schiacciata, the coffee shop that fueled your mornings, or another neighborhood treasure?

Share your memories in the comments.
We'd love to hear the stories that made Florence feel like home🇮🇹✨

Running for life. Running for hope. Running together.

For many FSU Florence alumni, some of the best memories of Florence are made by experiencing the city like a local.
This Sunday, one of Florence's most beloved traditions returns: Corri La Vita, an event supporting women affected by breast cancer through prevention, care, and research.

If you're in Florence, join thousands of participants as they walk or run through some of the city's most beautiful streets and landmarks, all while supporting an important cause.

To our FSU Florence alumni: wherever you are in the world, let this be a reminder of the community spirit that makes Florence so special.

Walk. Run. Support. Give hope. 🏃‍♀️

There are places that become part of who we are.

A sunlit piazza. The sound of church bells echoing through narrow streets. The walk to class across the Santa Croce neighborhood. A favorite corner where unforgettable memories were made.

Today, we launch our Postcards from Florence campaign, inviting you to revisit the places that made your Florence experience so special.

Our first postcards are dedicated to Santa Croce, the heart of the FSU Florence experience.

September in Florence:
A Season of New Beginnings and Timeless Traditions 🍂 🇮🇹

As summer gives way to the golden light of September, Florence takes on a special charm. The city feels a little less crowded, the evenings are cooler, and some of Tuscany’s most beloved traditions begin to unfold.

For our FSU Florence alumni, September is the perfect time to reconnect with memories of study abroad days and discover what’s happening in and around Florence this month:

Wander through the historic center at sunset and enjoy the city’s most beautiful views bathed in soft autumn light. ✨

Experience the start of the grape harvest season in the Tuscan countryside, where vineyards come alive with one of the region’s oldest traditions. 🍇

Visit world-renowned museums and galleries, often with shorter lines and a more relaxed atmosphere than in peak summer months. 🎨

Explore seasonal menus featuring fresh local ingredients, from porcini mushrooms to the first autumn specialties appearing in Florence’s trattorias. 🍝

Stroll through artisan neighborhoods like Oltrarno and rediscover the workshops, cafés, and hidden corners that make Florence feel like home. 🚶

Whether you are planning a return visit or simply reminiscing from afar, September reminds us why Florence leaves such a lasting impression on everyone who studies here.
