The Italy campus is a symbol of Marist’s commitment to global education; it provides students a unique opportunity to grow as world citizens. For those interested, the program offerings in Florence afford an education like no other. The Tuscan atmosphere allows Marist students to engage in a U.S. - style classroom environment while absorbing the educational resources of a significantly historic and inspirational European city. The partnership between Marist and Istituto Lorenzo de' Medici has truly fostered an international learning environment.

For centuries, travelers and admirers of art and culture have fallen in love with Florence.
