Life in Italy means living to enjoy every moment. Enthusiasm for art,
food and friendships punctuates each conversation and is a contagious
benefit to everyone who visits the country. Fine art and culture go hand-in-hand
with everyday life here, as you enjoy gelato near the world-renowned Sistine
chapel, sip espresso right outside the Roman Collesium, or walk past world-famous
masterpieces on your way to class.
This celebrated land includes a variety of landscapes, from verdant wine
valleys of the northern regions to the striking volcano Mt. Vesuvius in
Naples to the stunning southern islands of Sardinia and Sicily. Although
each of the nation's 20 regions offer great variety in terms of dialect
and terrain, the common pride in being Italian, speaking Italian, and
maintaining Italian traditions permeates the country no matter where you
are.
