Here are some photos of our group’s time in Florence (July 9th-12th). Two of the students’ favorite activities were definitely our cooking class at Giglio Cooking School and the personalized art history class tour and drawing class that we had with Mauritzio, Alicia’s art teacher that she met during the year that she spent living abroad in Florence.
Enjoy!
