Post crash florence haven

If the crash comes, what do we do? Well, Briefcase has found the perfect getaway – go back to school. Not just any school, but the unimaginably perfect school – the Florence campus of New York University.

Set in a twenty-five hectare estate, NYU in Italy comprises “five substantial villas encircling a beautiful Tuscan landscape. The estate houses a significant art and literary collection, historically important gardens…etc, etc.”

How does the chief correspondent at Briefcase know this? Because NYU at Villa La Pietra is advertising for two senior staff members – and even if he has an appalling academic record the lure of Florence, its cafes and timeless lifestyle is irresistible – much like UWA, which was the original reason for the appalling academic record.
