Study in the country whose great minds and talents brought to the world eyeglasses, batteries, the telephone, some of the finest art and literature we know today, and adventurous souls who sailed the ocean blue. Civilizations have inhabited the Italian peninsula for millennia, from the heroic Etruscans and Romans through the magnificence of the Middle Ages and Renaissance to Italy’s current high-profile status as a founding member-state of the European Union.
Yet Italy has much more to offer a student than its intriguing history and clever inventions. Vogue fashion, high-end cars, influential architecture and engineering, picture-perfect countryside, culture and cuisine: Italy has it all. Last but not least: the beautiful Italian language!
