Florence, Italy
Florence was home to the Medici, whose political vision shaped not only art and culture but also enduring ideas of leadership and governance. It is the city where thinkers like Niccolò Machiavelli explored power, strategy, and statecraft, questions that remain strikingly relevant today. Florence’s streets and intellectual legacy offer a living backdrop for reflecting on how innovation, risk, and influence come together in moments of transformation.
By hosting the Academy in Florence, participants engage with cutting-edge thinking in a setting that naturally invites perspective, strategic foresight, and long-term decision-making, essential qualities for leaders navigating a fragmented and rapidly evolving world.
