Facilities
LdM in Florence is perhaps the largest school in Florence, located in ten campus buildings (totaling 50,000 square feet) in the historic city center, right next to the thriving San Lorenzo market and church and close to transport facilities. Florence's unique architectural masterpiece, the Duomo, is within a few minutes walk. Together the LdM buildings contain a full range of facilities including numerous classrooms and large, specialized art studios, a cafeteria, a courtyard garden, a library, the Student Point and the Computer Center.
One of the main LdM buildings in Florence is situated in Via Faenza and dates back to the 13th century. It originated as a convent connected to a medieval church, San Jacopo in Campo Corbolini. This church, now deconsecrated, was founded in 1206 and for its first hundred years belonged to the Knights Templar. Rich in medieval frescoes and sculpture,the church has recently been restored to its original splendor, and serves as the setting for LdM conferences and receptions.

Just a few minutes' walk from our campus in the historic center of Florence, Scuola Lorenzo de' Medici students are given access to the archives of Florence Cathedral, where they can study the record of the birth and baptism of Amerigo Vespucci, the Florentine explorer who gave his name to an entire continent. For over thirty years our school has been welcoming modern student adventurers from America, and helping them to discover a wider world of learning, experience and international friendship in the unparalleled setting of central Italy.
