Italy Business - May 2010

Program Description
This study abroad program will take participants to the Italian cities of Milan, Florence, and Rome. Fourteen days of travel through central Italy will provide opportunities to visit some of the country’s leading and most prestigious businesses while leaving ample time for exploration of famed antiquities like Michelangelo’s sculpture of King David.  Before arriving at our final travel destination, students may find themselves in business interactions with personnel at Ducati’s motorcycle manufacturing facility, an ancient winery, and a renowned fashion house.  The final five days will be enjoyed discovering one of civilization’s most historically significant cities… Rome, Italy.  While in Rome, students will navigate ancient corridors and quaint piazzas en route to breath-taking landmarks such as The Sistine Chapel, The Pantheon, The Forum, Trevi Fountain, and The Coliseum.  The flourishing and prosperous activities of modern Italy set against the historical remains of its past provide a truly unique and rich opportunity for students to study advertising and hospitality marketing from an international perspective.  This magnificent 14 day adventure delivers a chance for students to expand their intellectual and cultural horizons while walking the same streets as the world’s greatest mind, Leonardo DaVinci.  Students occupying the limited number of seats on this trip will return with memories of unparalleled camaraderie, education, food, history, and culture that are sure to endure for the remainder of their lives.
