Istituto Lorenzo de' Medici (LdM)

Istituto Lorenzo de’ Medici (LdM) is one of the most distinctive and well-established study abroad institutions in Italy. At LdM, students have the opportunity to immerse themselves in local culture, as well as formal studies in liberal arts, design, and creative studies, which are taught in English at LdM’s two locations: Florence and Tuscania. LdM aims to foster the development of professional skills and intellectual growth necessary for undertaking creative and intellectual inquiries. This evolution is achieved through the study of the artistic traditions of the masters while embracing a culture of innovation and change. By building an expressive language, students acquire a refined set of tools for personal awareness, expression, and creativity.
