Visiting Italy again without a visa, limits on stay?

Visiting Italy again without a visa, limits on stay?
I'm planning on studying abroad for a semester in Florence, Italy from about January to April. Because the program is 13 weeks, I would be using a Student Visa during this stay. Now, usually I stay for a few weeks in Milan in the summer without a visa. Will my time spent at study abroad with a visa use up my 12 week visa-free time period?

Visa free stay is determined as being 90 days within any 6 months period. If you stay in Italy on a student visa until April you should not try to return and apply for visa-free entry before July in other words stay out of the Schengen area for at least 93 days..

This is really a question you should be asking the Italian Embassy. I'm assuming you're getting the student visa through the Embassy, so they will be able to give you factual information on your visa status once the student visa has expired.
