Global Fairfield's Florence partner, Florence University of the Arts, has co-designed with our academic team a fall Finance academic track that offers students targeted coursework as well as a variety of field learning adventures throughout the semester. In early October, students explored the Medici family’s legacy in Florence, credited with founding one of the most influential banks in 15th-century Europe, and later that month journey to Rome for a walking tour where they learned about the Vatican’s financial influence.

Recently students had the opportunity to step inside the history of global markets with a visit to the Milan Stock Exchange! Dating back to 1932, the Exchange has evolved from in-person trading on the main floor to today’s automated processes.
The experience began with a sit-down presentation, “Inside the Markets”, with a former stockbroker who guided students through the inner workings of Italy’s stock market and its international connections. The students also participated in a live trading demonstration, analyzed current market trends, and discussed their predictions for top-performing stocks!
This visit was the final finance field trip of the semester, which included a historical journey through Europe’s financial past. Thank you to everyone involved in creating and facilitating these experiences for our finance students!
