It’s a great opportunity to experience several aspects of the Italian way of  life and culture: the Capital, rich in history, see Ancient Rome in all its splendour, Renaissance Rome, Baroque Rome and enjoy a city that is awake and exciting 24 hours a day, every day of the year  and the way of life of Ragusa Ibla, adventurous and pleasant , where  time seems to have stopped and the people are very friendly and warm. You can visit one of the most beautiful cities of the world and you can enjoy the astonishing beaches of the Mediterranean sea, just 15 minutes away .

Rome:  the essence of Europe, the Eternal city, eternally fascinating, beautiful and pulsing. Elegant, joyous,  with an exciting night life, Rome is a city that offers unforgettable emotions twenty four hours a day, a city that will remain stamped upon your soul and your heart for a lifetime. The school in Rome is situated in the heart of the capital, its backdrop the Vatican City and the majestic St. Peter's Basilica.

The school is located a few steps away from  the enchanting San Giorgio's Duomo in the ancient and aristocratic palace Arezzo di Donnafugata built in the XVIII century.
