Map & Location

Italy is a nation where ancient history, rich artistic traditions, and diverse natural landscapes collide. From the monumental ruins of Imperial Rome to the delicate wetland ecosystems of Tuscany and the vibrant street life of Naples, Italy offers an ideal environment for learning.

Modern Italy balances a deep reverence for its historical heritage with active environmental stewardship and vibrant local community networks. Visiting with Projects Abroad provides a unique opportunity to experience Italian culture well beyond the typical tourist route.

Pompeii

Frozen in time by the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, Pompeii offers an extraordinary look into daily life at the height of the Roman Empire. Visitors can walk along preserved stone streets past intact amphitheatres, ancient bathhouses, and vivid wall frescoes kept remarkably intact beneath layers of volcanic ash.

Rome

Known as the Eternal City, Rome captivates travelers with an open-air museum feel, blending ancient landmarks like the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, and Vatican City into a lively modern urban landscape. Visitors can spend their days exploring millennia of historic art and architecture before unwinding in sunlit piazzas over world-class Italian cuisine and rich espresso.

Naples

As the passionate birthplace of authentic Neapolitan pizza, Naples offers a raw, energetic taste of southern Italian culture set against the dramatic backdrop of Mount Vesuvius and the Bay of Naples. Travelers can explore world-class archaeological museums before wandering buzzing alleyways packed with centuries of history and lively local trattorias.

Pisa

Best known for its world-famous Leaning Tower, Pisa offers travelers a breathtaking cluster of Romanesque marble architecture within the UNESCO-listed Piazza dei Miracoli. Beyond its iconic bell tower, this historic university city features scenic Arno riverfront promenades, laid-back cafes, and a vibrant student-driven culture.

Florence

Renowned as the cradle of the Renaissance, Florence is a living masterpiece filled with iconic architecture like the terracotta-tiled Duomo and galleries housing works by Michelangelo and Botticelli. Visitors can stroll across the historic Ponte Vecchio, admire Tuscan artistry in every piazza, and enjoy rich local cuisine.
