Learn Italian in Italy

Most people do not realize how much Sicily has to offer. With its sun, its beige pebble and sandy beaches, its warm aqua blue water, its snow-topped volcano Mount Etna, its forests and rolling golden hills, Sicily has always been at the center of the Mediterranean Sea, and therefore, it has always been at the center of Mediterranean history. Every major civilization that wanted to have power in Europe and over the Mediterranean Sea "had" to own Sicily. Situated in the center of the Mediterranean, Sicily has served as a meeting place for three continents, each of which has contributed to Sicily's unique history and culture. There are few other places which have been impacted by as great a number of civilizations: the Sicani, the Sicilians, the Greeks, the Carthaginians, the Romans, the Byzantines, the Arabs, the Normans, the Spaniards, all influenced the vibrant Sicilian culture.

In, 1786, J.W. Goethe, in his "Italienische Reise" (Flight to Italy), wrote "Without Sicily, Italy cannot be fully understood. It is here one finds the key to all things". Our study abroad programs reflect Sicily's magnificently rich 3000 years of knowledge, poetry, art and traditions.  Studying Italian in Sicily is an opportunity to discover the roots of the Italian culture.
