Orvieto

Orvieto, Italy
Summer I

Art, history, and literature come alive as you live and study in the intimate setting of Orvieto, one of Italy’s most fascinating small cities.  Perched atop volcanic tufa and overlooking vineyards and spectacular Umbrian landscapes, Orvieto retains its medieval character while preserving its Etruscan roots. 
 
Classes are hosted by the prestigious Centro Studi in the historic town center.  Course offerings include an interdisciplinary seminar in the arts and humanities, and electives that include special topics in literature, the classics in translation, and applied art options led by the program director, a Clemson faculty member.  All students participate in Italian language and culture courses taught by local language teachers, although no prior Italian language experience is required.   
 
Students also visit Rome and Florence and take day trips to locations like Siena and Bagnoregio.  The course is offered during Summer Session I and is open to all majors.
