Program Description:

(UWG) Italy Program: Rome and Spoleto Session II

Aside from a day trip to Rome (one of the most important cities in the world), Session II revolves around Spoleto's fabulous Festival of Two Worlds, which affords students multiple opportunities to witness world-class arts, theatre, and music. The courses offered will help students deepen their engagement with Italian culture while developing a keener sense of what it means to be a global citizen in the twenty-first century. 

Dates: June 17^th - July 10^th, 2027

Applications and non-refundable $500 deposit: due November 1^st

Physical expectations are that students can climb stairs and do reasonable amounts of walking. Rome requires about a 6-mile walk. Daily walking in Spoleto is much less, but since it's on the side of a hill, it requires elevation gains. All apartments require some stairs (1-3 floors). Cold is not a problem. There is no A/C in the city, pretty much, so heat in July can be an issue. All apartments have fans, though, and there are ways to mitigate it. This also creates wonderful mornings and evenings, when festival events occur outside.
