Dear Friends of ISI, I am pleased to introduce to you this first issue of our digital newsletter that marks the beginning of an active participation of our Institute in the digital world. The Florenzine will serve the purpose of reaching out and connecting with the community and letting our friends around the globe know more about the effervescent life at the Institute. Our readers will get a glimpse of our academic life, our student initiatives, and the wonderful research projects our faculty are engaged in, both in Florence and abroad. So, I warmly welcome you to the Florenzine and I thank you in advance for your support in this endeavor.

Antonio Artese, DMA
Associate Director at ISI Florence
