What it is like to intern here
Florence Overview
Florence is the capital of Tuscany and the birthplace of the Renaissance. Its historic center is compact and walkable, and art, architecture and craft are part of everyday life. It is also a working city with a strong tradition in fashion, leather goods and design.
The city’s size makes it easy to get around on foot or by bike. Fast trains connect Florence with Rome, Bologna and Venice, so the rest of Italy is within easy reach.
Internship Opportunities in Florence
Internship opportunities in Florence include fashion and high-end goods, art and cultural organizations, hospitality and tourism, marketing and design, and food and wine businesses. With so many international visitors and customers, work in English is common in content, guest experience, e-commerce and market research.
Many Florentine businesses are small and craft-based, so interns can see how family-run companies combine tradition with international sales. Most of our placements in Italy are in Bologna. Florence is possible depending on your field and the host companies available at the time.
Florence Attractions
Life outside work in Florence centers on art and food. Interns can visit the Uffizi and the Duomo, cross the Ponte Vecchio, walk through the Oltrarno workshops and Boboli Gardens, or share long dinners with colleagues and housemates.
Tuscany is on the doorstep. Siena, Pisa and the Chianti hills are short trips, and Cinque Terre is reachable by train for a weekend.
Walk the historic center
Florence is small enough to walk everywhere, from the Duomo to the Ponte Vecchio and Piazzale Michelangelo at sunset.
Markets and trattorias
Eat lunch at the Mercato Centrale and Sant'Ambrogio markets, and dinner at small trattorias in Oltrarno and Santo Spirito.
Tuscany on weekends
Siena, Pisa, Lucca and the Chianti hills are day trips, and Bologna and Rome are short train rides away.
