Foligno is in the central part of Italy. During May, the average temperature is 75 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit. However, it can warm up to temperatures over 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Buildings, including lodging, rarely have air conditioning, so students should plan to be in a warm environment. There is occasional rain.

While Foligno is in a valley and mostly flat, the surrounding areas are hilly or even mountainous. Visiting other cities, such as Perugia or Spoleto, requires walking up and down steep inclines. Students will walk to class and meeting locations and should expect to be walking on cobblestones or brick-paved roads, which can be uneven.
