Entering and Exiting EU twice - where to get VAT refund?

I live in the US and going to visit Germany, Austria and Italy with a trip to the Seychelles in the middle, all within 2.5 weeks. My flights will be:
Home - ZRH - TXL; TXL - VIE; VIE - IST - SEZ; SEZ - ADD - FCO; FLR - ZRH - Home.
Anything I buy in Italy, I'll claim in Florence - easy. But for items I buy in Berlin or Vienna, do I claim the VAT refund in Vienna and then bring it back into the EU after the Seychelles? Or can I also claim the refund in Florence? Thanks!
