Study Visits

Along with traditional classroom instruction, a considerable portion of the teaching in the Arezzo Program takes place on location—before a painting in a museum or a monument inside a church, in a Roman archeological site, in an observatory, in a medieval castle, in a Renaissance palace, or in an urban or natural setting.

Recent Events

When the Arezzo program is not in session, there are still many activities to get involved in. Italian Evenings, visitors from Italy, and the Boccaccio Fest are just a few.

Study Visits

The photo essays below illustrate cultural events in Arezzo and nearby towns as well as course-related study visits to the cities and towns of northern, central, and southern Italy. Venice, Pisa, Siena, Rome, Capri, and Naples are among the destinations.
