In the two nights spent here, students have the opportunity to see Michelangelo's David, Botticelli's Birth of Venus, and other masterpieces by Leonardo da Vinci, Cellini, Donatello, and many others. The most concentrated collection of art is held in the Uffizi, museum, one of the finest museums in the world. The city itself, along the Arno River, is a sight to see bathed by an amber light and surrounded by cypress trees and olive groves. ROME is a big city culture set among ancient architectural relics from its monumental past. It is impossible to see in two days but we will try our best to hit the big sights such as the Colosseum, Vatican City and Saint Peter's Cathedral, the Sistine Chapel, the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, the Roman Forum, the Pantheon and other famous standing landmarks.
Transportation is included in the program cost for all excursions.
Meals for those days are funded by you but a group rate can usually be negoitated at the local restaurants. This includes all accomodations for 5 weeks, all planned excursions, and two meals a day at the University cafeteria. Late applications will be considered only if there is still room in the program.
