Studente della Toscana Card

The University of Florence provides its students with the Carta Studente della Toscana (Tuscany Student Card), a university ID that offers access to:

  • Canteen facilities managed by the Regional Agency for the Right to University Education, as well as university libraries
  • Discounts exclusively for university students at museums, theatres, and retail stores

Sending the card to enroled students

If you have enroled at Unifi, you will receive your student card at the address you provided when you enroled.

Your card can only be printed and sent if you have uploaded a valid photo and paid the first instalment of your fees.

To recharge your canteen account, simply log in to the Ricarichiamoci portal.

Theft, loss, deterioration and malfunction

In the event of theft, loss, damage or malfunction of the Tuscany Student Card, you can request a duplicate exclusively by appointment at the DSU Toscana.

Starting in November 2025, the ‘My DSU’ app will be the new tool for accessing university catering services.
With the new app, the forms of identification currently in use (physical ‘Studente della Toscana’ card, DSU card, etc.) will be gradually phased out.

Consequently, the issue of duplicates of the ‘Studente della Toscana’ card will only be guaranteed until 31 December 2025.

For further details, please refer to the Student Card Duplicates webpage.

To request a duplicate, please visit the DSU online services portal.

FAQs

The Student Card is a regional, personal card that serves as identification within the University.

The card is also used to access the canteen, the Social Sciences and Humanities Libraries (Lettere) and other facilities reserved for students.

Ph.D. students enroled in their first year of study will receive their card at the address provided during enrolment once the enrolment process has been completed.

The photo must be a frontal image, in focus and with the face clearly distinguishable, like a passport photo; recent (no more than six months old); 35x40mm in size; with a plain, uniform background; in JPEG or JPG format.

Without a valid photo, you will not be able to receive the Tuscany Student Card.

Your student card is already active, but the catering service is managed directly by DSU Toscana.

To use the canteen service, you must follow this procedure:

  • connect to the DSU support service
  • once logged in, click on ‘Student Help Desk’ and follow the guided procedure.

You are entitled to access the canteen service even without a Student Card.

Simply present an identity document at the cash desk of the refreshment points.

You will be able to use your Student Card from 15 January at DSU Toscana catering outlets.

In the meantime, you can access the canteen service with an identity document or by using your virtual card.
