Welcome all to the NECC 2012 Study Abroad in Italy Blog!  The students will arrive here in Firenze (Florence) on Sunday, 6/03 along with Prof. Barbara Stachniewicz.  I have been here since Tuesday, 6/25 getting things ready.  Our group will be studying the Art History of Renaissance Florence with me in the mornings and taking another course of their choosing at FUA, Florence Univ. of the Arts in the afternoons. We look forward to three weeks of Art,Culture, Food and fabulous experiences.
