Study Abroad in Urbino, Italy Summer Session III Classes begin 6/27 Travel from 7/3-7/25/2013
Urbino is one of the best preserved Renaissance towns in all of Italy.
Culturally the town is most famous for its 15 th century Renaissance palace designed by Laurana for Duke Federico da Montefeltro. The Ducal Palace, which has been named by Kenneth Clark the prototype of all Renaissance palaces and the most beautiful of its kind in the world, now houses an important museum. Urbino is the birthplace of Raphael and was an important Renaissance center vying with Florence. There are beautifully decorated churches and summer music festivals take place regularly in the courtyard of the Ducal palace.
Today Urbino is also known for its university, founded in the 16 th century and one of the best in Italy for humanistic studies. It houses our summer language and cultural program. The university is a short walk to the town where the Program s classes are taught. Each student has his or her own private dorm room with a shared bath. Many rooms have views of the beautiful undulating hillsides common to the Marche region. Lunch and dinner are provided in the cafeteria and the university is justifiably proud of its well prepared cuisine. Students can buy breakfast in the cafeteria for a couple of euros (approximately two dollars). Wireless internet is available in the commons area. It is required that students buy inexpensive Italian cell phones to be able to stay in touch with others in the group.

On free weekends students may sign a release form for independent travel at their own expense. Above, some of our students travel to Venice on a train. The train system in Italy is convenient and inexpensive for weekend trips. From Urbino students take a bus to the train station in Pesaro or Rimini, from where one can easily reach, Siena, Pisa, Ravenna, Bologna, Orvieto, and other points of interest.
Il modo perfetto per dire Ciao in Italia, è attraverso Roma! Ho detto il mio cuore è in Italia, e ho lasciato un pezzo in Urbino, ma il resto è a Roma. We are going to stay three full days in Rome! Students are free to make their own itineraries, but the coordinating professors, most of whom speak Italian and who have traveled extensively in Italy, are always willing to offer advice and accompany the students to their designated itineraries. In Rome there is usually a bus tour of the city with one of the professors commenting on the various sights of the city. It is a good orientation for the proper planning of itineraries.
