Study Abroad in Tuscania, Italy

The campus of Lorenzo di Medici in Tuscania is located inside the walls of the town’s medieval center. The school’s weathered stone exterior, consistent throughout this very old part of town, reveals little of the sleek, modern interior of the facility. With campuses also in Rome and Florence, this private educational institution has flourished since its founding in 1973. Courses at Lorenzo di Medici pertain closely to arts, literature, culture, history, and language. Favorite classes among students in Tuscania are the Food of Italy, Travel Writing, Photography, Italian Cinema and Theater, and the Wines of Italy.

Four month-long spring and fall terms are offered along with a month-long summer semester that provides an exclusive opportunity for hands-on participation at an archeological excavation site of ancient Etruscan ruins. The warm late-summer weather and seasonal changes in autumn and early winter makes studying in Tuscania in the fall semester an eminent choice.

Courses are taught in English, but it is required that students enroll in one Italian language course. These classes range in skill level and follow a progression that allows students to gradually develop their language skills over the semester. Grading is dependent on weekly and semester-long projects, along with midterm and final exams scores. Class time is primarily devoted to lectures and discussion, resulting in most course work to be done outside of class.

Most classes meet bi-weekly and partake in several field trips throughout the semester. A week long midterm break and weekend excursions offered through certain providers allows students to indulge in many travel opportunities while studying abroad in Tuscania.

My Mantua, Italy Abroad Experience with ATLANTIS!

I went on an Atlantis Program in July of 2022 to Mantua, Italy for 3 weeks. From the Interview to getting prepped for my trip, to arrival at my apartment, shadowing and the excursions, it was a smooth process! I had the opportunity to shadow in the ER / ICU, Surgery, Immunohematology, Pediatrics, and got a private tour of their EMS system. I was shadowing on average 5 hours per day, yet in surgery / ICU I got more because there were additional cases / I really wanted the hours. Yes you do have to wake up early, and be punctual for shadowing! The cappucino in the morning was FABULOUS! I also explored near by cities such as Florence, Venice, Rome, Lake Garda which I made life long friends and experiences. From playing duck duck burrito in the apartments with the squad to experiencing an EDM Concert, still AMAZED at that experience to this day. This program gave me the realization that I wanted to dive into the business side of which I utilized the hours / experience on my MBA Application. Yes, it is an investment in ourselves and careers just like any part of the MD / DO / PA / Nursing process. I highly recommend this program if you're looking for an adventure, hours, friends for a lifetime, and you want to confirm in your heart the calling to medicine or not! Words cannot express the gratitude I have for the Atlantis staff, and everyone that made this process special. I would not be where I am today, and on the path that I am on without this experience. THANK YOU ATLANTIS!

Amazing, life-changing, enlightening

I thought it was going to be very cultured and homey. It was. I did research some websites about the city and a brief overview of how it was. It was so welcoming and homey. Everyone was accepting and caring. I wanted to immerse myself in Italian culture and I did. I met new lifelong friends and learned the language more easily. Interacting was not hard, because most people spoke English. Language is not a barrier. The environment is so close that you will be really good friends with your peers. It is honestly worth it. Especially if you want to explore under the surface. Get to know the staff, they are great and super nice. They help out a lot.
