The “Tuscan AngloAmerican Festival in Florence” aims to
celebrate the close relationship among American Universities,
Anglophone cultural centers, and Tuscany by engaging in a
continuous dialogue among institutions, scholars, teachers and
students of different disciplines from all over the world.
About 9,000 students frequent the 40+ study abroad programs in
the capitol of our region every year. The objective of the first
“Tuscan AngloAmerican Festival in Florence” is to highlight the
many positive aspects of the presence of AngloAmerican
institutions in Florence through some of the activities that they
promote on a daily basis such as: conferences, art and
photography shows, concerts, seminars and endless volunteer
options.
During the festival, the American universities and the British
Institute will open their doors to Tuscan residents, sharing their
experiences and putting students in contact with their Italian
peers. The constant collaboration and reciprocal enrichment
maintained by Tuscany and the Anglo-American Institutions in
Florence has brought together the US, Great Britain, and Tuscany
for over a century. Ultimately, the Festival is an occasion to fortify
and appreciate this unique cultural bond.
Information and registration for events can be found in the Gazebo in Piazza
della Repubblica and online at www.taainflorence.it
