The best way to learn a language and broaden cultural understanding is through immersion. We encourage our Italian language students to study abroad in Recanati, Italy.

Recent experiences:

"I have just completed my month studying abroad in Recanati and wow, what an incredible experience! I would like to say thank you so much to Hispanic & Italian Studies for helping to arrange this experience. I have made so many memories and friendships in Recanati that will last a lifetime! The program was fantastic and I could not recommend it more. After taking the course, I am very eager to continue studying the language." - Lauren (June 2023)
