class="team-detail__content"> <p>As a teenager, I was lucky enough to have loving and courageous parents. They gave me a nest and they gave me wings as well, as the saying goes. At sixteen they asked me if I wanted to spend a year in the USA as a student on a program called “Experiment in international living.” A few months later I landed in Florida, where I lived with a local host family near Daytona Beach for my whole junior year in a local high school. It was 1985-86 (the same year MTV was launched) and I had the time of my life.</p> <p>I thus started thinking that serving as some kind of liaison between the USA and Italy would be a fascinating, rewarding job. I only had to focus on a specific niche, as it were. Since I was not good enough in sports and an acting career was out the picture, I opted for academia. After all, I was studying Latin and Greek, so why not turn a torment into an asset? Being quite repetitive, I ended up getting two MA’s (one from “Università di Firenze,” the other from Catholic University of America in Washington D.C.) and two Ph.D’s (one from Yale, the other, again, from “Università di Firenze”) before becoming the director of The International Studies Institute (aka ISI Florence).</p> <p>I have been in international education as a teacher and an administrator for some twenty-five years now. Working with students and scholars is a privilege. It’s more than a job; it’s a mission. It takes love, passion, hard work, and originality. In this field, one can help and learn a lot on a daily basis. That’s why, finishing this short bio, the following words from one of my favorite songs spring to mind: “<em>I wish you were here</em>.”</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="our-team__wrap"> <a class="our-team__box" href="javascript:;" data-id="56344"> <div class="our-team__image"> <div class="our-team-img"> <img class="team-profile-img" src="https://isiflorence.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/caterina_new_pic.jpg" alt=""> <img class="team-profile-gif" src="https://isiflorence.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/caterina_new_pic-1.jpg" alt=""> </div> </div> <div class="our-team__content"> <h4 class="our-team__title">Caterina Brogi</h4> <p class="our-team__text">Associate Director for Administrative Affairs | Registrar</p> </div> </a> </div> <div class="popup--team" id="member-56344" > <div class="popup-wrap"> <div class="popup-content"> <a href="javascript:;" class="close-btn">X</a> <div class="our-team-detail"> <div class="team-detail"> <div class="team-detail__media"> <div class="our-team-img"> <img src="https://isiflorence.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/caterina_new_pic.jpg" alt=""> </div> <h4 class="our-team__title">Caterina Brogi</h4> <p class="our-team__text">Associate Director for Administrative Affairs | Registrar</p> <ul class="social-links"> <li>  <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#d5b6b7a7bab2bc95bca6bcb3b9baa7b0bbb6b0fbbaa7b2"><i class="far fa-envelope"></i></a> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="team-detail__content"> <p>Caterina has spent her whole career working with American universities and has been with ISI Florence since 2004.

After different roles (Oklahoma University, Oberlin College, and the University of Rochester) I have settled at ISI Florence where I focus on mediation between cultures, and building relationships with institutions and the territory. Through my work, I am proud to give students the best experience our country has to offer.</p> <p>Studying abroad is a crucial enterprise that shapes one’s future. I firmly believe that the more students are exposed to different contexts of Italian culture, the more they will return home with rich baggage that will enable them to grow personally and professionally. Learning to be flexible, reinventing ourselves, learning from each other, stepping out of our comfort zones, but also, and above all, not forgetting our roots, values, and traditions that make up the base of our culture… this is what I hope to pass on to my children as well as to my students.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="our-team__wrap"> <a class="our-team__box" href="javascript:;" data-id="79586"> <div class="our-team__image"> <div class="our-team-img"> <img class="team-profile-img" src="https://isiflorence.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/annaluisa.jpg" alt=""> <img class="team-profile-gif" src="https://isiflorence.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/annaluisa.jpg" alt=""> </div> </div> <div class="our-team__content"> <h4 class="our-team__title">Anna Luisa Schirru</h4> <p class="our-team__text">Housing Assistant</p> </div> </a> </div> <div class="popup--team" id="member-79586" > <div class="popup-wrap"> <div class="popup-content"> <a href="javascript:;" class="close-btn">X</a> <div class="our-team-detail"> <div class="team-detail"> <div class="team-detail__media"> <div class="our-team-img"> <img src="https://isiflorence.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/annaluisa.jpg" alt=""> </div> <h4 class="our-team__title">Anna Luisa Schirru</h4> <p class="our-team__text">Housing Assistant</p> <ul class="social-links"> <li>  <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#ceafa2bdada6a7bcbcbb8ea7bda7a8a2a1bcaba0adabe0a1bca9"><i class="far fa-envelope"></i></a> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="team-detail__content"> <p>Moving to Tuscany has been one of the best choices I’ve ever made and, after 13 years, I can finally call it home! It all started in 2010 when I left my hometown in the south of Sardinia to study at the University of Siena. In the beginning, it wasn’t easy but now I’m glad I have three different locations I can call ‘my places’.</p> <p>After my bachelor’s degree in Italian Literature, I got a master’s in Italian Linguistics and Cognitive studies. During my university years, I had the opportunity to study abroad – first for six months in the UK and then for one year in Indiana, where I worked as an Italian teaching Assistant at DePauw University.</p> <p>These experiences abroad taught me that cultural differences are what make real connections between people, and I like to consider them resources more than barriers. Starting in an international environment and experiencing cultural differences, students have the biggest chance to grow as they face new challenges every day. From my own personal experience, I can say that the most I’ve learned as a student was during my time spent miles away from my hometown, family and friends, being fully immersed in a completely different country and lifestyle.</p> <p>Once back from the United States, I decided that international education was the right environment in which I wanted to work and I’ve been working for the past 5 years in the housing field of international institutes in Florence. I consider being a consistent part of students’ abroad experience as a privilege knowing that, for them, it’s going to be a life-changing experience.</p> <p>Working with international students is a continuous exchange and a great possibility to meet people and make friends from all over the world.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="our-team__wrap"> <a class="our-team__box" href="javascript:;" data-id="75687"> <div class="our-team__image"> <div class="our-team-img"> <img class="team-profile-img" src="https://isiflorence.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/lavinia_new.jpg" alt=""> <img class="team-profile-gif" src="https://isiflorence.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/lavinia_new.jpg" alt=""> </div> </div> <div class="our-team__content"> <h4 class="our-team__title">Lavinia Strati</h4> <p class="our-team__text">Bursar | Co-Curricular Activities Coordinator</p> </div> </a> </div> <div class="popup--team" id="member-75687" > <div class="popup-wrap"> <div class="popup-content"> <a href="javascript:;" class="close-btn">X</a> <div class="our-team-detail"> <div class="team-detail"> <div class="team-detail__media"> <div class="our-team-img"> <img src="https://isiflorence.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/lavinia_new.jpg" alt=""> </div> <h4 class="our-team__title">Lavinia Strati</h4> <p class="our-team__text">Bursar | Co-Curricular Activities Coordinator</p> <ul class="social-links"> <li>  <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#660a15121407120f260f150f000a09140308050348091401"><i class="far fa-envelope"></i></a> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="team-detail__content"> <p>Born in the Oltrarno area of Florence, Lavinia is very tied to her roots and knows lots of hidden gems of her city, but at the same time, since her family comes from both Northern and Southern Europe, has always loved living and working in a multicultural environment.</p> <p>Lavinia graduated in Foreign Languages and Literature at Università di Firenze and, as a former teacher of Italian Language to students from all over the world for more than a decade, she has a lot of experience in helping people understand Italian language and culture – far from stereotypes.</p> <p>A major change in her life and career led her to ISI Florence, where she brings her experience with students and teachers along with her communicative and organizational skills.</p> <p>She loves reading poetry, writing and walking through Florence – she enjoys her early morning walks to Palazzo Rucellai, passing by Ponte Vecchio and Ponte Santa Trinita, and she even stops to take photos – it is a real privilege to see these world-famous spots still empty and quiet, every morning.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="our-team__wrap"> <a class="our-team__box" href="javascript:;" data-id="79576"> <div class="our-team__image"> <div class="our-team-img"> <img class="team-profile-img" src="https://isiflorence.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/giorgia_ok.jpg" alt=""> <img class="team-profile-gif" src="https://isiflorence.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/giorgia_ok.jpg" alt=""> </div> </div> <div class="our-team__content"> <h4 class="our-team__title">Giorgia Tellini</h4> <p class="our-team__text">Student Services</p> </div> </a> </div> <div class="popup--team" id="member-79576" > <div class="popup-wrap"> <div class="popup-content"> <a href="javascript:;" class="close-btn">X</a> <div class="our-team-detail"> <div class="team-detail"> <div class="team-detail__media"> <div class="our-team-img"> <img src="https://isiflorence.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/giorgia_ok.jpg" alt=""> </div> <h4 class="our-team__title">Giorgia Tellini</h4> <p class="our-team__text">Student Services</p> <ul class="social-links"> <li>  <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#82e5f6e7eeeeebecebc2ebf1ebe4eeedf0e7ece1e7acedf0e5"><i class="far fa-envelope"></i></a> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="team-detail__content"> <p>Giorgia is a Florence native and proud dog mom to Bacco.
