It has been said that more than a lifetime is needed to experience all that the city of Rome has to offer. It is a city layered with art and antiquities encompassing 2,500 years of history — from the Colise-um, the Imperial Forum, and the Roman Pantheon, to Vatican City, with the Sistine Chapel and Vatican museum. For over two thousand years Rome has been a nexus of culture and commerce; a metropolis that has beguiled visitors and locals alike.

Rome is a world-class city where innovative thinking thrives in a bus-tling urban environment, and history comes alive on every street cor-ner. Because of the city’s unique character, Rome offers unparalleled opportunities for the study abroad visitor. Especially for students who are studying Italian Language and Culture, visiting Rome offers the academic adventure of a lifetime.

This summer, writing students who take part in this program will have the opportunity to work with two of America’s leading literary figures. The 2012 Summer Institute for Creative Writing and Liter-ary Translation at John Cabot University is proud to welcome poet Billy Collins and novelist Joyce Carol Oates as Writers in Residence. Collins and Oates will take part in the activities of the Summer In-stitute and will visit the creative writing workshops to discuss their work with students. In addition, throughout the summer they will hold public readings of their work and will conduct open lectures to discuss the craft of writing.

SUMMER INSTITUTES

The beauty and wealth of Florence have attracted visitors throughout the ages, from the Roman Era to modern times. Though Florence is an ancient city, the focal point today is the art and architecture of the Renaissance that blossomed there from 1400 – 1600. No other city in Europe reflects the birth and de-velopment of modern society more than Florence, through its exquisite examples of art and architecture. The Renaissance or “rebirth”, the revolutionary time that followed the Dark Ages of Europe, changed the world forever by placing importance on the individual and on creativity.

The streets of Florence still ring with the vibrant culture that be-gan over 600 years ago; the city center has changed little, com-bining the elegance and quality of the Renaissance style with a stunning blend of modern design. The lush hills and mountains of Tuscany surround the city, offering themselves for exploration on afternoons or weekends. Though Florence has a rich history, today it is an important center for contemporary art, fashion design, graphics and business. We invite you to experience this contrast of past and present with other students from around the world that come to study in Florence.

Overlooking the Mediterranean at the tip of the Amalfi coast, Sor-rento, with its charming cobblestone streets, lively piazza and vibrant cultural scene, is known for its serene beauty, safety and friendliness.

This thriving city, considered one of the loveliest In Italy with its lemon groves, flower gardens and nearby beaches, lies close to many nature preserves and historic sites such as Pompeii, Hercu-laneum, and Capri. Sorrento offers learning opportunities both in and out of the classroom with its churches and cathedrals that exemplify a wide range of Italian architectural styles. Sorrento also provides easy access to Rome and Naples for SAI excursions and guided field studies. Historically, Sorrento was a Greek village prior to the Roman Empire when it became a favorite of wealthy Romans whose villas on the sea are now notable ruins. Today, Sorrento’s historical significance is evident and it continues to be a favorite locale for its spectacular natural beauty.

Nestled in the rolling hills in the heart of Tuscany, just 70 miles south of Florence, Siena was first settled during Etruscan times and then during the time of Emperor Augustus, a Roman town was founded on the site of Siena. As an important money-lending center, Siena prospered as a city-state and reached its height of importance fol-lowing the victory against the Florentines at Montaperti in the fall of 1260. With its narrow winding roads and medieval architecture, Siena appears all but untouched by modern times. One can wander through tucked-away squares and tour museums and churches that are home to countless renowned works of Byzantine, Renaissance and High Renaissance art.

All SAI participants in Siena are accommodated with local host families. This home stay is an integral and indispensable part of SAI’s Siena Program, offering students the opportunity to make life-long friends, reinforce the language skills acquired during daily lessons and to experience modern Italian culture from “the in-side.” Home stays include three meals a day, seven days a week.

Milan is synonymous with cutting-edge fashion, and is also inter-nationally renowned as a center for interior, industrial, graphic and product design. Filled with the world’s premier fashion and design studios, the city provides students with an outstanding opportunity to explore state-of-the-art design in a truly international environ-ment. Studying in a city that hosts some of the world’s top design and fashion shows allows students direct exposure to working pro-fessionals who are producing some of the finest work in their re-spective fields. In addition to exploring Italy’s rich design heritage, students will be challenged to develop their own creative voices and to explore new ideas, approaches and methods.
