Language programme in Rome
The fruit of 3000 years of ad hoc urban development, today Rome is much more than the sum of her parts. Though the splendours of Ancient, medieval and Renaissance Rome continue to dazzle – no trip would be complete without a visit to the Coliseum and the Vatican City, the world’s smallest state, among many other landmarks – the capital and nerve centre of Italy is best savoured for its earthly delights: long afternoons on sun-filled terrazze, or while wandering the rabbit warren of Trastevere, the old Jewish Quarter, sampling Rome’s famous pizza al taglio.
Our partner school, is a small, friendly place teaching Italian as a Foreign Language to international students. Located in the heart of Rome in Rione Monti, the Coliseum and Termini Station are just a stone’s throw away.
