SUMMER
COURSES IN ITALIAN
LANGUAGE AND CULTURE
FOR FOREIGN STUDENTS
June
13th - August 6th 2005
This program will be conducted through a series of guided excursions to monuments, excavation sites, and museums. In a chronological fashion, the students will discover the Roman culture from its protohistory to Christian times. During the first visits, the students will trace the steps of the Etruscans and the Latini, thus getting to know what the area was like before the foundation of Rome. Then the sites of ancient Rome (from its origin to the Imperial age) will be explored, following the development of its topography and architecture. Finally, the last excursions will be devoted to the architecture and the decorations of Christian Rome.
