Course Description:

'' Europe’s kinky over-the-knee boot has it all: popes, painters, polenta, paramours, poets and potentates. Its three millennia of history, culture and cuisine seduces anyone not suffering exam deja vu. In Italy you can visit Roman ruins, gawk at Renaissance art, stay in tiny medieval hill towns, go skiing in the Alps, explore the canals of Venice and see more beautiful churches than you imagined could exist in one country. Naturally you can also indulge in the more elementary pleasures of enjoying good food and wine, improving your wardrobe and seeking out la dolce vita. Italy’s instantly recognizable boot shape kicks its way into the Adriatic, Ionian, Ligurian and Tyrrhenian seas - all of which form part of the Mediterranean Sea. From west to east, France, Switzerland, Austria and Slovenia form a rugby scrum to the north. The islands of Elba, Sardinia, Ischia, Capri, the Aeolians and Sicily lie offshore. Mountains feature prominently in Italy’s topography, and bolster its landlocked borders all the way from Genoa in the west to Trieste in the east. Italy’s backbone is formed by the Apennines, extending from Genoa right down to the soccer ball which bounces off the toe of Calabria: Sicily. The lowland plain of the Po River Valley in the country’s north-east forms the largest lowland area, and is heavily populated and industrialized as a result. Underground rambunctiousness is evidenced by the country’s three active volcanoes - Stromboli in the Aeolian Islands, Vesuvius near Naples and Etna on Sicily - and the devastation wrought by earthquakes, especially fierce in 1908 and 1980. Beauty abounds in Italy, but, unfortunately, so does pollution, particularly in the big cities and along the coast. Italy’s climate varies from north to south and from lowland to mountain top. Winters are long and severe in the Alps, with snow falling as early as mid-September. The northern regions experience chilly winters and hot summers, while conditions become milder as you head south. The sirocco, however, affects regions south of Rome, the hot and humid African winds producing at least a couple of stiflingly hot weeks in summer.
