Passion, history, art, fashion.

These are but a few words that one can confidently use to describe long-standing features of Italian culture.

And yet, Italy has only been a country with its current borders for less than 150 years! It's therefore not surprising that many Italians have stronger regional attachments than national loyalties. This is evident when comparing the cooking, fashion and ways of life between the north and the south.

There is so much to see and do in this enormously fascinating country. From exploring the galleries and cathedrals to sampling delicious food, there is something for everyone! Let an Italian immersion program spark your passion for la dolce vita!
