A city with no limits, rich of art, culture, history, energy, diversity, and opportunities.
- THE ETERNAL CITY
With a population of 4.2 million people, Rome is the capital of Italy. Rome owns the status of a global city and its historic center is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site
- TRADITION
The city is considered a cultural, artistic and historical gem that attracts millions of tourists from all over the world. Rome’s cuisine is considered a gastronomical heritage of the peninsula - POSITION
The strategic position of Rome allows our students to easily travel across Italy. The entire peninsula is well connected by an efficient public transportation linking beautiful cities such as Florence, Milan, Turin, Venice, and Naples
ANCIENT MEETS FUTURE
The most fascinating aspect of Rome is its standing as a city where ancient and modern weave in and out of each other; it is hard to determine where one era ends and another one begins.
Rome is one of the most important tourist destinations of the world, due to the incalculable immensity of its archaeological and artistic treasures, as well as for the charm of its unique traditions, the beauty of its panoramic views, and the majesty of its magnificent “villas” (parks). Among the most significant resources are the many museums – Musei Capitolini, the Vatican Museums and the Galleria Borghese and others dedicated to modern and contemporary art – aqueducts, fountains, churches, palaces, historical buildings, the monuments and ruins of the Roman Forum, and the Catacombs.
Our futurist approach creates a perfect contrast that combines ancient and modern. The result is an environment where tradition and culture are the pillars of a modern era in Rome.
