We organise seminars on Italian history and culture, guided visits to museums and monuments, evening gatherings at the Institute or in Florentine pubs, and trips and excursions all over Tuscany.

In addition to the activities especially organised for our students, you can also benefit from the cultural programme we produce in collaboration with the public administration of Florence and other municipalities in the province. In the summer and other periods of local/national festivities there are numerous concerts and cultural events about which we will be pleased to inform you.
