Joseph S. Bruno Auburn Abroad in Italy – Spring Term 2017

On January 31st a new group of 22 students from Auburn University arrived in Ariccia for the Spring 2017 semester in Italy. Our campus is based in Ariccia (RM) in the beautiful Chigi Palace by Gian Lorenzo Bernini and for their semester abroad we planned several seminars, cooking classes, special lecturers and field trips. During the “practicum placements week” we scheduled activities focused on our students’ interests and career goals and we planned for them special meetings, interviews and practicum experiences with important professional figures and experts according to their majors. Our study program follows a chronological historical order from Ancient Times to contemporary history including visits to Rome, Tuscany, Venice, Umbria, Pompeii and an optional field trip to the Amalfi Coast.
