Rome, open for vacation
Summer School 2010 gets underway at Rome universities: lessons, trips and guided tours to help foreign students get to know the Eternal City
To be able to study Italian with Italians, a strong interest in our country’s immense artistic heritage and professional and personal reasons are all important factors that make it interesting and useful for foreign students to visit the great “art cities” such as Rome. In June, with the start of the scholastic vacation period and an ideal combination of learning and cultural tourism, the universities in Rome offer an interesting initiative for foreign students, for whom the Summer School programs have been developed, offering summer courses in Italian culture and language. A wonderful opportunity to study and learn, aimed at the vast and cosmopolitan world of students from other countries, offering them the opportunity to experience the best of the city’s and the region’s cultural assets. The Summer School, edition 2010, gets underway at the Sapienza Università di Roma on Monday, June 21st, at the Faculty of Human Sciences, supervised by Professor Paolo Matthiae.
