PROGRAM INFORMATION:

Such a coastal town is located only a short distance from Portofino, Lerici, and Cinque Terre. The climate is temperate and offers comfortable and good hospitality in all seasons. In Chiavari, the students will receive intensive Italian language for 3 1/2 weeks. The Italian classes will center around topics such as Italian politics, culture and cinema gleaned from national newspapers. Students will take field trips all over Liguria, and the historically important seaport of Genova, where Columbus lived, Marco Polo was jailed, Garibaldi launched his attempt to unify Italy, and where the intellectual father of Italian nationalism, Giuseppe Mazzini, is buried.

Students should expect moderate hiking on this program.
