Why should I choose Orvieto over a larger city like Florence?
Perhaps the most quoted reason for choosing Orvieto, according to the students and faculty, is the authenticity of the Italian experience while abroad. In larger cities like Florence and Rome, while beautiful and culturally rich, are often inundated with tourists from all over the world. In other words, it is very easy to become lost in the mix of these cities. Orvieto offers a manageable space in which to live, eat, socialize and work while getting to know locals. Additionally, according to some of our traveled faculty, Orvieto has some of Italy’s best food. Because of their affiliation with the Slow Food Movement, the city has retained a high quality of delicious, traditional cuisines like stuffed squash blossoms, locally made cheeses and cured meats and, for the more adventurous, dove. Food aside, you can be certain in Orvieto that you will be given plenty of personal attention, in a warm and welcoming environment and offered a quality experience.
