Art of Italian Living in Rome

Learn Italian or pursue an internship while immersing yourself in the "Art of Italian Living," experiencing the cuisine, art, and culture of Rome. This eight-week program offers two tracks: 1) language students, regardless of prior experience, will have daily Italian language classes taught by local instructors; and 2) interns, who must have proficiency in Italian, will gain hands-on experience with a local business or organization, further developing language and professional skills in a global workplace. Past interns have worked in marketing, finance, law, science labs, engineering, computer science, data analytics, graphic design, pottery studios, culinary arts, athletic training, non-profit organizations, cinedubbing, museums, archives, dental clinics, university orchestras, working with refugees, and teaching English and Italian.  

In addition to language classes and internships, your evenings and weekends will be filled with museum visits, cooking courses, and cultural learning in the heart of the ancient city. As part of this program, you will experience Rome intimately—exploring its neighborhoods, reflecting in baroque churches, observing everyday life from lively piazzas, and practicing your Italian by engaging in conversations with locals. Through journal assignments, you will reflect on the language, culture, cuisine, art, and history of Italy. Field trips will take you to the heart of Tuscany, to explore Gothic Siena and its traditional neighborhoods, and to Renaissance Florence, where you will study world-renowned masterpieces of Italian art history. Through these experiences you will learn “The Art of Italian Living.”
