One of the most beautiful Renaissance Cities in Central Italy

Urbino: Marche region

Urbino, a Renaissance City for the contemporary student

Protected by its walls, the ancient city

• f Urbino is perched high on a ridge

between the Metauro and Foglia

• valleys. It is surrounded by green hills

that bear the landscape features left by inhabitants of centuries past.

Ideal place to study Italian

Despite being a jewel of Italian Renaissance art and architecture, Urbino is not overrun by tourists – not even in summer. This makes it an ideal place to meet the locals, hang

• ut, and experience la vita italiana.

Helpful Hints:

• 1. Taking the train from Rome to Urbino

can be much too complicated (3 different trains + I bus!). You can take a direct bus that leaves from the Tiburtina station in Rome, three times a day.

• 2. Find out before you get to Urbino where

your dorm is (it will be outside the city walls, off the via dei Cappuccini). The Lingua ideale Summer Program website will have a map).

Return to Rome (or other place

• f departure):

Make sure that you allow enough time to make your return flight. The night the program ends there is a final get- together that students will want to attend, so ensure that your flight (from Bologna, Rome, Venice…) does not leave to early the next day. Give yourself enough time to get to the airport for your flight!
