Facilities
Lorenzo de Medici in Florence is located in ten campus buildings (totaling 4800 square meters) in the historic city center, right next to the thriving San Lorenzo market and church and close to transport facilities. Florence?s unique architectural masterpiece, the Duomo, is within a few minutes? walk. Together the LDM buildings contain a full range of facilities including numerous classrooms and large, specialized art studios, a cafeteria, a courtyard garden, the library, the Student Point and the computer center.
The main LDM building in Florence is situated in Via Faenza and dates back to the 13th century. It originated as a convent connected to a medieval church, San Jacopo in Campo Corbolini. This church, now deconsecrated, was founded in 1206 and for its first hundred years belonged to the Knights Templar. Rich in medieval frescoes and sculpture, the church has recently been restored to its original splendor, and serves as the setting for LDM conferences and receptions.
Students and professors from LDM's Restoration Department were fully involved in the restoration of the church interior.
