Viva l’Italia, il bel paese! From mouthwatering pasta alla sorrentina to Renaissance art and classical opera, in Italy everything is created with two things in mind: beauty and passion. Beauty and passion are also key ingredients of Italian daily life and have inspired people of all ages for centuries. From the bustling streets of Rome to the breathtaking views along the Amalfi Coast, a trip to Italy is sure to enliven the mind and the senses!
During our four week Italian immersion summer program our students experience firsthand the meaning of la dolce vita. A residential immersion experience in the heart of Renaissance Florence provides opportunities to take classes in Italian language, culture, art, fashion and cuisine. Daily activities and weekly day trips expand horizons and encourage teens to develop interests and make new friends. After a five day guided tour of Rome at the program’s end our students have a deeper understanding of Italy’s cultural legacy in Europe and throughout the world. Learn more about cultural immersion in Italy on the Florence-Rome program page.
