Participants will engage with Europe’s artistic landscape while visiting significant cultural sites, gaining insight into artistic movements from ancient to contemporary times.
All programs celebrate Italy’s incredible food and wine, featuring exclusive visits to the Sistine Chapel and St. Mark’s Cathedral. Each experience is unique, filled with creativity and discovery.
