Lorenzo de' Medici - art, language and culture since 1973

LdM provides its students with exceptional recreational opportunities both inside and outside the city of Florence. These include guided visits to historic sites, social activities (e.g., dinners at characteristic local restaurants, allowing students to sample Italy's exceptional cuisine), seasonal festivals, special events and conferences, field trips, theatre, concerts, and much more.

Florence has a large number of private gyms and dance studios popular with visiting students, as well as facilities for track, basketball, soccer, swimming and other sports.
Each week the school organizes free activities, such as seminars on Italy and Italian culture that include a large variety of subjects (history, geography, literature, food, folkloric events, music, cinema) and guided visits to the most important monuments and churches and museums in Florence, led by professors of art history; screenings of Italian movies.

The School also offers additional activities at an extra-charge, such as:

• Full or half-day excursions to different locations in Tuscany.

• Dinners in typical Florentine restaurants.

• Opera and theatre events.

At the beginning of each month, students will be given a leaflet with information about the specific activities for that month.
