The world is slowly becoming smaller and more accessible, and its travelers and explorers are no longer young men off to seek their fortune in the wilderness of the unknown. Nowadays study abroad is no longer restricted to university students looking for a gap year of new experiences. The world has opened its doors and windows to everyone and anyone and this is why we, at the Dante Alighieri in Siena, were inspired to create our Siena Magnifica course.
This course is designed for those who wish to combine Italian language lessons with fun and varied cultural activities as well as cooking sessions. In this way, students not only improve the Italian language but also the secrets of its cuisine, history and art of Siena are unveiled. This program can be attended for one or more weeks, it welcomes participants of all ages and of all levels of Italian. It will meet all expectations for those who wish to explore and be fully immersed in the Italian/Sienese life.
