Among the Tuscan excellences known all over the world, wine, undoubtedly, holds a special place. The Chianti region is in fact famous for its grapes that give a unique product, with a bright ruby color and unmistakable aroma.

"Tell me what you eat and I'll tell you who you are" proclaims the famous saying from Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin.

Florence is one of the most incredible cities in the world and its beauty has inspired entire generations of poets, architects, musicians, sculptors and painters.

I find it hard enough to describe my weekend to a friend, let alone my entire study abroad experience to strangers.
