2014 Summer Delilah Romasanta Temple Rome

Celebrating outside Rome: Todi and Titignano

 

 

 

 

Orientation ended with a trip outside of Rome to see past city life and discover real Italian culture. In order to do this, we went to Todi and Titignano. This day trip, often noted as a highlight of students’ study abroad, is a refreshing and inspirational experience to start the semester.

Students are relieved this local vender speaks English. They sample some delicious, locally made jam and decide to buy it.

Todi is a quaint town with many small restaurants and shops, most of which are closed this Sunday.

Awe-inspiring sights are not unusual while wandering the streets of Todi, and are the reason it was voted the most livable city in the world.
