Study Abroad in Tour of Italy

Athena students are invited to enroll in the Tour of Italy program, which enables them to study for one month at each of LdM's sites in Tuscania, Rome and Florence across the Fall or Spring semester.
Each of these locations offers amazing resources for studying the history of Western culture from the age of the Etruscans to the Renaissance, and the program is conceived as an historical journey through these civilizations, retracing the steps of our European forebearers and exploring the monuments they have left behind.
TOUR OF ITALY HIGHLIGHTS
- TUSCANIA: The walled Etruscan city is a charming, medieval town nestled in the Italian hillside outside of Rome. A rich collection of Italian,
Etruscan and church history, Tuscania in many ways
seems untouched by time. Because of the city’s
smaller size, students are able to gain an authentic
Italian cultural experience in this preserved city.
- ROME: The capital of Italy is one of the most
historic locations on the planet, and is a cultural
treasure chest of Christian, Medieval, Baroque,
and Renaissance influences. Rome is itself a piece
of art that captures the journey from antiquity to
modernity.
- FLORENCE: Studying abroad in beautiful Florence,
Italy means living in one of the most artistically and
culturally rich cities in the world. From the regal
Renaissance and Medieval architecture of the
buildings that line the city streets, to the priceless
works of art that line the walls of the Uffizi gallery,
beauty and culture surround you at every turn in
this richly diverse city.
