An American student who studied in Florence has been slammed for writing a scathing review of the Italian city - claiming its residents are "hostile, inconsiderate, and preposterous". New York University student Stacia Datskovska wrote a personal essay about her experience after spending a full semester studying abroad.
Throughout the essay, which has been published on Insider, the journalism and international relations student shared her hatred toward the city and the people who live there. Stacia wrote: "I imagined fun potluck dinners with my roommates, summer flings with people who called me 'bella,' gelato that dripped down my fingers in the heat, and natural wine that paired effortlessly with good conversation and better prosciutto.
