Ciao! Curious about the Colosseum and Roman Forum? Excited to see Michelangelo’s masterpieces for yourself in the Sistine Chapel? Summer programs in Italy provide an immersive introduction to the country’s rich history and artistic heritage. Explore the cobblestone streets of Florence — birthplace of the Renaissance. See works by Botticelli and da Vinci in the Ufizi Galleries and browse the Piazza Santo Spirito (the best farmer’s market around) or Piazza Santa Croce (a flea market where you’ll find the coolest treasures).
For a taste of the “dolce vita” (the sweet life), wander Tuscany’s charming villages. Or visit Murano, Venice’s second-largest island renowned for its stunning glassmaking. If you fancy fashion, browse the shops in Milan, one of the world’s fashion capitals. Love the outdoor life? Hike near Mount Etna, Europe’s tallest active volcano. Take a dip in the Mediterranean or Adriatic.
If you’re musically inclined, explore summer opera programs in Italy. Or, if you dream of becoming the next Indiana Jones, visit Herculaneum and Pompeii — two of the country’s most famous archaeological sites. The beauty of summer programs in Italy lies in their diversity. The wonders of Stivale (the boot) await you. Ready to collect that stamp in your passport?
