of Florence, Italy, an ideal location to enjoy the city. Florence – the capital
of Fine Arts – is well known worldwide for its artistic heritage, and its
numerous traditional art & craft laboratories, but also in the field of
gastronomy it is blessed with a wide variety of ingredients, as Tuscany region
is known as the heart of Italian culinary tradition. Tuscan cuisine has
developed throughout history as the fusion of aristocratic gourmet food and
simple peasant’s dishes. Transmitting the Italian Culture through Culinary Arts
Food is one of the fundamental elements of a culture, representing the region’s
culture, nature and climate, etc. evolving together with the transformation of
the land. Florence is one of the most popular tourists’ destinations, and by
taking one step out of the classroom, you will encounter countless foods, from
traditional foods to foods of the latest trend. Foods offered to visitors and to
city residents, foods offered at friends’ house, ingredients that cannot be
found in your own country, and all of these diverse foods will give you hints to
know Italian cuisine deeper, and to know Italia itself. Students are encouraged
to learn from various experiences, not only to study in the school, but to go
out and discover what is out there. Message from the Chief Professor Florence
Culinary Arts School (FCAS) was founded in the city of Florence, which is renown
as a gourmet city, with the mission of spreading outstanding Italian cuisine
cooks all over the world. When I teach the students, I try to give them all the
knowledge and techniques I have cultivated until now, so that they can
understand the marvelous Italian culture, have curiosity for food, and feel the
beauty of each dish realized by the love and pursuit for art. Florence is not
only a great place to study culinary art study, but also a great place to stay.
You can discover numerous globally recognized restaurants; visit markets full of
fresh ingredients, and countless special experiences, and be immersed in the
world of Italian cuisine. Let’s take a step forward and learn together the
authentic Italian taste I wait for you in Florence! Prof. Francesco Coniglio
