The scope of the Italian Passages™ experience is without parallel and distinguishes itself from other study abroad programs in countless ways. Our specialized itinerary, renowned guest lecturers, and affiliations with the famous language institute Scuola Leonardo da Vinci and academy of art Accademia del Giglio make this summer opportunity exceptional.

The Italian Passages™ program commences in Siena, allowing students to trace developments of the Italo-Byzantine, Gothic and Early Renaissance styles in art and architecture. We will then spend time in Florence, a city-shrine to Renaissance creations. In Rome, we will focus our studies on the countless masterpieces of antiquity. Day trips include Assisi, the 'Piero della Francesca Trail' and Pompeii.

Our vision is to give participants in-depth and in situ educational experiences normally reserved for college and graduate students. At the same time, we will provide them with the guidance and knowledge necessary to make their own discoveries and draw their own conclusions.
