From our Resident Director

Lorenzo Ciccarelli

CEA CAPA Florence Resident Director

There is nothing new I can tell you about Florence, because the rest you will discover on your own day after day, in an incredible escalation of cultural experiences. I was your age when I embarked on my first real study abroad immersion. It shaped my life and defined my career. I met some extraordinary people that I can list among my best friends today. I hope your experience is similar to my own. You are choosing Florence to be your destination and I’m sure Florence will become your second home.

I can't imagine what Florence would have been like without CEA CAPA. The staff was amazing when it came to any type of issue. Whether it had to do with housing, school, where to eat, or how things work in Italy, the people at CEA CAPA were more than willing to help.
