Urbino 2013 - Broward College

Study Abroad in Urbino, Italy
Summer Session III
Classes begin 6/27
Travel from 7/3-7/25/2013
Urbino is one of the best preserved Renaissance towns in all of Italy.
Culturally the town is most famous for its 15th century Renaissance palace designed
by Laurana for Duke Federico da Montefeltro. The Ducal Palace, which has been
named by Kenneth Clark the prototype of all Renaissance palaces and the most
beautiful of its kind in the world, now houses an important museum. Urbino is the
birthplace of Raphael and was an important Renaissance center vying with
Florence. There are beautifully decorated churches and summer music festivals
take place regularly in the courtyard of the Ducal palace.
Today Urbino is also known for its university, founded in the 16th century and one of
the best in Italy for humanistic studies. It houses our summer language and cultural
program. The university is a short walk to the town where the Program’s classes are
taught. Each student has his or her own private dorm room with a shared bath. Many
rooms have views of the beautiful undulating hillsides common to the Marche region.
Lunch and dinner are provided in the cafeteria and the university is justifiably proud of
its well prepared cuisine. Students can buy breakfast in the cafeteria for a couple of
euros (approximately two dollars). Wireless internet is available in the commons area.
It is required that students buy inexpensive Italian cell phones to be able to stay in
touch with others in the group.

Mi hanno chiesto,
"Nina tornerai a visitare
tutti noi?"
Ho detto, "Come no?!"
Urbino in tutta la sua gloria, e gli amici meravigliosi che ho fatto

Urbino.
Credo che la gente dice sempre: "Avremo sempre
Parigi". Ma io dico, “Avrò sempre Urbino".
On free weekends students may sign a release form for independent travel at their own
expense. Above, some of our students travel to Venice on a train. The train system in Italy
is convenient and inexpensive for weekend trips. From Urbino students take a bus to the
train station in Pesaro or Rimini, from where one can easily reach, Siena, Pisa, Ravenna,
Bologna, Orvieto, and other points of interest.
Il modo perfetto per dire Ciao in Italia, è attraverso
Roma! Ho detto il mio cuore è in Italia, e ho
lasciato un pezzo in Urbino, ma il resto è a Roma.
We are going to stay three full days in Rome!
Students are free to make their own itineraries, but the coordinating professors, most of
whom speak Italian and who have traveled extensively in Italy, are always willing to offer
advice and accompany the students to their designated itineraries.
In Rome there is usually a bus tour of the city with one of the professors commenting on the
various sights of the city. It is a good orientation for the proper planning of itineraries.
