Date: February 20, 2009
Time: 12-1 pm
Place: 930 Schermerhorn

The Department of Art History and Archaeology and the Department of Italian offer a six week summer program based at Ca’ Foscari University in Venice. The program uses an interdisciplinary approach to understanding Italian culture through study of its language, art history, and architecture and the opportunity to gain a deeper appreciation of the rich Venetian culture, traditions and history. The program is open to qualified undergraduate and graduate students.

Students with one year of Italian enroll in Intensive Intermediate Italian and Art in Venice for a total of 9 points. Students can complete their Italian language requirement with this program.

Students with two or more years of Italian enroll in Art in Venice with Conservation Project for 4 points. Advanced students also intern with Save Venice Inc., an American organization sponsoring restoration in Venice.

Ca' Foscari University graduate students serve as Cultural Partners who meet regularly with program students to provide a local perspective into Italian language and culture. They are involved in many aspects of the program including orientation, social activities, and field trips, allowing for regular interaction between program students and Italian students.
