This summer, 15 students from the Penn State College of the Liberal Arts traveled to Todi, Italy, as part of the “Italian Language, Art History and Culture” faculty-led course, which allowed them to immerse themselves in a new culture while gaining real-world experience.

The program, led by Giuseppe Bruno-Chomin, assistant teaching professor of Italian, gives students full Italian language immersion and the opportunity to explore the picturesque hilltop Umbrian town of Todi. The students also had the opportunity to visit other Italian towns and cities such as Siena, Assisi, Perugia, Orvieto, Urbino, Pienza, Florence, Naples and Rome.
