Columbia University's Summer Study Program in Scandiano, Italy
This six-week summer program provides an unparalleled opportunity for
complete immersion in Italian language, customs, and culture. The courses,
Intensive Intermediate Italian Language and Italian Renaissance Literature
and Culture, are taught by two regular faculty members from Columbia
University, Jo Ann Cavallo and Scott Failla. Students may take either or
both courses, which meet in a Renaissance castle that has been renovated to
a twentieth-century comfort level.
The community of Scandiano welcomes students enthusiastically. Students may
choose to live with local families or in a local hotel. Program activities
include hiking and biking in the Apennines, excursions to cultural events
including an opera, and trips to nearby cities such as Bologna and Parma.
Students also enjoy the regional cuisine, often called the best in Italy,
both with their families and in restaurants.
The town of Scandiano, with a population of 23,000, is located in the
region of Emilia-Romagna between the Po Valley and the Apennine Mountains.
Florence, Pisa, and Siena are close enough for weekend trips.
