In the historic city of Verona, sixteen Italian students embarked on an enchanting journey visiting the La Casa di Giulietta, where some left behind love letters in pursuit of romantic fortune. Their exploration continued with a captivating tour of the iconic Arena, steeped in centuries of history.

Upon arriving in Florence, the students participated in a five-day immersion at ABC Language School, where they engaged in enriching Italian lessons and formed bonds of camaraderie with the locals. They also had the privilege of witnessing the ancient Florentine Easter tradition of 'Scoppio del Carro' (Explosion of the Cart), a mesmerising spectacle of fireworks and rituals symbolising the spread of the Holy Fire.

Their journey led them to marvel at the architectural wonder of the leaning tower of Pisa and immerse themselves in the medieval charm of Siena, where history came alive. Culminating their adventure was a poignant visit to Dante's house, leaving them with cherished memories that beautifully captured Italy's timeless allure and rich heritage.
