Reviews:
"Amazing experience! I was able to grow a lot in my art experience: the teachers are wonderful and immersed in their field of expertise and the hands-on aspect of teaching is snuck into the curriculum so often it made every lesson important and interesting. The fact that the participants live in a convent really help to emphasize the fact that students are really living the Italian life through this process, eating, breathing and sleeping Italian. It is truly a life-changing experience and, if given the chance, would do this program again in a heartbeat"
