PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Jump into the Italian language and culture, allowing yourself the time to see, meet, touch, smell, taste, and learn. Like 2017 Pulitzer Prize-winner Hisham Matar, cut off 30 days out of your routine and devote them to yourself, your own cultural interests, and your personal growth. With Learning Italy’s specialized teachers you will be guided in a small group through the acquisition of Italian language balancing engagement and free time so to allow you to experience a more personal and intimate approach to Siena, its beauty, its people, and the “uneasy reverence” it inspires.
