About The Program:

Situated in the beautiful and charming village of Verucchio in Emilia-Romagna, you’ll immerse yourself in the Italian way of life, learning the language as you cook, eat, drink and interact with other students and the local community. Experience the language with all your senses, from literature to cinema, song, poetry, and everything in between. Accompanied by your Italian instructor, you’ll meet chefs, restaurateurs and vintners, all eager to share their knowledge, products and inspiration. The program is open to all levels.

HIGHLIGHTS:

Interactive morning language lessons take place in the classroom, accommodating all levels of proficiency. In the afternoon, there are various activities aimed at adding to your knowledge of the language, and also discovering the treasures of this special corner of the Emilia-Romagna region, including cuisine, history, art, nature and culture. Though less structured, there are also opportunities to experience and participate in local small-town life (i.e., lunching with locals, helping local businesses, attending village concerts, etc.).

All through your language immersion experience, you’ll be guided by extraordinarily talented teachers. With expertise ranging from theater to ancient languages, poetry to music and cinema, our teachers use a variety of interactive techniques to help advance your Italian skills, and your enjoyment of the language. Most classes and activities are conducted in Italian for maximum immersion.

Most of our activities are centered in the town of Verucchio. While its quiet beauty, rich culture, and delicious culinary offerings are compelling on their own, our program also includes visits to nearby towns to further explore this intriguing part of Romagna, such as:

• The village where Esperienza began, Pennabilli

• The city of poets, Sant’Arcangelo di Romagna

• The picture-perfect Republic of San Marino

• The vibrant city of Rimini, birthplace of the Italian Riviera and Federico Fellini

• The former capital of Italy, San Leo

Our program ends on a high note with a mountain sunset farewell dinner at a nearby agriturismo.
