This bachelor’s degree in Italian and Mediterranean Studies provides a comprehensive interdisciplinary learning experience and is taught entirely in English. The programme allows you to explore Italy’s pivotal role in the Mediterranean through the lenses of language, literature, history, the arts, and intercultural and geopolitical relations.

The curriculum is designed to foster your critical and analytical skills through a multi-faceted approach:

- History & Geopolitics: Uncover the political, social, and religious dynamics that have shaped Italy’s function as a crossroads of civilizations.

- Literature & Digital Humanities: Study how the Mediterranean has been imagined and narrated, from canonical texts to travel literature, while using modern digital tools for textual analysis.

- Anthropology & The Environment: Engage with pressing global challenges, including migration, deindustrialization, and overtourism, while exploring the relationship between communities and their environment.

- Archaeology of the Sea: Discover symbols and ideas that traveled across the waves, viewing the sea not as a barrier, but as a shared, anthropized space of connection.
