The NYU in Florence campus is located just north of the historic city on a stunning 57-acre estate with views of the Duomo's cupola. The centerpiece of the campus, Villa La Pietra, is a magnificent 15th-century, 60-room villa that contains an early Renaissance art and furniture collection. La Pietra is surrounded by a beautiful Renaissance-revival garden, cypress-studded hills, and olive groves. Four other villas complete the estate: Ulivi, Sassetti, Natalia, and Colletta. Villa Ulivi, the academic heart of NYU in Florence, is where you'll take classes. Ulivi contains classrooms, computer labs, conference and seminar space, faculty offices, an art studio, and a café. It's also home to the student information center, where you may attend lectures, meet with faculty and staff for advisement, learn about planned day trips and excursions, or just relax and hang out with your classmates. In addition to the computer lab in Ulivi, the two villas that are residence halls—Villa Natalia and Villa Colletta—are also equipped with computer labs.
