Internationally recognized as Georgetown's Study Center in Florence, the Villa provides eligible college students the opportunity to study abroad for a semester, year, or summer. The Villa also invites Georgetown alumni, parents, students, and friends to participate on various study tours which focus on the art and culture of Italy.

Villa Le Balze has become recognized not simply as the campus of a distinguished American University in Italy, but as a center of learning and scholarship. We invite you to learn more about the Villa's lecture series, past conferences, and publications.
