Educational Travels &Experiences

“My 4-week intensive art program in Montepulciano was short but incredibly sweet! Our small group spent mornings in classes and afternoons exploring the city's countless museums and churches. While four weeks flew by quickly, I gained a solid foundation in the Italian culture and enough basic Italian to navigate the local markets confidently.”

“My month in Verona's intensive language program exceeded all expectations! The small classes (8 students max) met for 4 hours each morning, and I was amazed by how quickly my Italian improved. Living with an Italian roommate meant constant practice, while afternoon activities like cooking classes and market tours helped us use Italian in real situations. Verona was perfect for language learning– locals actually spoke Italian with us instead of switching to English. In just four weeks, I went from knowing basic phrases to having confident conversations in Italian. The city's amazing food scene was a delicious bonus! Best summer decision ever.”

“The 4-week summer film program in Cefalu’ was an absolute whirlwind! During our mornings at school we learned about Italian cinema history and production techniques. Our final project involved creating a 5-minute short film inspired by Italian Neorealism, shooting on location in Cefalu's vibrant neighborhoods. From studying Fellini's classics to creating our own films in Cefalu’, this program packed a full semester's worth of experience into just four weeks. The connections I made with Italian film students and industry professionals were invaluable. ”
