On the second day of orientation, we went to the university (Palazzo Rucellai) at 930am. We got a tour of the university, which is absolutely beautiful. It is one small building, connected to the others in the city with a tiny spiral stair case that you have to take in order to get up to the classrooms. There is also a library and studio separate from the main building somewhere else in the city. The university has been owned by the Rucellai family for many many years and is beautiful. The classrooms look like mini cathedrals. The rooms have art painted all over the ceilings, architecture on the walls, and are absolutely beautiful.
After the tour, we filled out our permits of stay for our extended stay of 4 months in Florence as American citizens...which costs 75 Euro, fun.
After that, we skipped the tour of the city (because we give ourselves our own tour everyday) and went over by the river Arno- absolutely beautiful!! We crossed the bridge to the other side of the city and went to this little restaurant called Dante. We each got personal sized pizzas- mine was mozzarella, sauce, and prosciutto, for only 6 euro and it was so yummy! The owner was really nice to us and cooked us a tasting of all of their deserts for free and they were unbelievable. He also gave us free hats and took a picture with us! We are definitely going back there.
Later that evening we went to the same disco as the previous night (Colle Bereto), but it was a little too crowded. So we went to another disco called Fullup and went with some friends to the VIP room..it was great!
It was yet again another wonderful day/night in Firenze :)
