My month-long stint in Florence was an unforgettable experience. The burning question is: how did I end up here? It all began even before I enrolled in the school. The team at Accademia Europea di Firenze was fundamental to the process, always ready to answer my countless questions and carefully guide me in choosing my course. This help made all the difference, allowing me to make the most of this journey.
