Rooms are cleaned daily. The program fee includes three delicious Umbrian meals each day, excluding trip days. Students, residents and faculty enjoy meals together, enabling students to have close contact with their art mentors. Meals are simple and wholesome, with fresh produce from nearby farms and prepared with care by our local cooks. A typical lunch at the ISA programs includes pasta, a meat dish, two vegetables and a legume, salad, fresh bread, local wine, mineral water, fruit and coffee.
Dinner is light and satisfying, with a hot main course and plenty of vegetables.
We serve a substantial continental-style breakfast to prepare us for an energetic morning in the studio. We travel by chartered bus to Rome , Florence , Siena , Assisi , Perugia , Bologna , Sansepolcro , Arezzo , Orvieto , and Ravenna . A faculty member or visiting art historian gives preparatory lectures to enrich and enliven our trips. Students and faculty are then free to go independently or in groups to visit museums and churches, or anything they wish to see. The ISA Student Sourcebook contains a guide for our trips and other travel information.
