ITAL 685: UNH‐in‐Italy Study Abroad
This is an administra ve course # that enrolls the stu‐
dent in the UNH‐in‐Italy program and carries no credit
or grade. It sa sfies the UNH Discovery World Cultures.
Language Courses If a student has already taken 401 (or
more Italian), then they would take the next course in
the sequence (e.g., 402‐503 or 503‐504, etc.).
ITAL 401/ITAL 402: Elementary Italian
ITAL 401/402 is for students without previous training in
Italian. The course is designed to help students achieve
proficiency in basic grammar and conversa onal Italian
and emphasizes aural comprehension, speaking, wri ng,
reading. The course is conducted in Italian. ITAL 401/402
sa sfy UNH foreign language requirement. 8 credits
ITAL 503/ITAL 504: Intermediate Italian
ITAL 503/504 provides a complete review of the funda‐
mentals of grammar and syntax. The course includes
selected readings as a general introduc on to Italian
civiliza on and culture. The course is conducted in Ital‐
ian and is Wri ng Intensive. Prerequisite: ITAL 402 or
equivalent, 8 credits
Food Aesthe cs
The aim of the course is to acquaint the student with
the principal aspects of aesthe cs as it pertains to our
understanding of and rela onship to food. An integral
aspect of the course is sensory evalua on techniques,
which will be introduced through labs. Each lab will fo‐
cus on measures of gusta on and olfac on through a
variety of food products. Each class period will be devot‐
ed to a par cular ques on such as: What kind of
knowledge is realized through the senses? Why has
taste generally been considered a "lower" bodily sense?
Can a meal be "beau ful"? Is a food experience compa‐
rable to reading a poem or viewing a work of art? Is
pleasure in ea ng morally acceptable? How is food relat‐
ed to personal and collec ve iden ty? What ethics are
implied in food produc on and consump on?
Food Technology Processes in Italy
The aim of the course is to introduce students to the
technological processes used in food manufacturing. Stu‐
dents will study the produc on line of four products
through the produc on models of four companies in As‐
coli Piceno. On‐site observa on and par cipa on is an
integral aspect of the course.
Cross‐Cultural Courses
ITAL 500: Italy Today
This course will introduce students to Italian culture and
its tradi ons. We will explore different aspects of Italian
contemporary society and culture through readings,
films, videos, music and field trips. The course will em‐
phasize cross‐cultural comparisons between Italy and the
United States through students' daily experience living in
Ascoli Piceno. The course is conducted in English. No pre‐
requisites.
ITAL 681: Interdisciplinary Field Seminar: Ancient & Me‐
dieval Italian History and Culture. Unearthing the Past:
Archaeology in Ascoli Piceno
This course explores the city of Ascoli Piceno as a living
history ar fact. While concentra ng on the city’s pre‐
Roman, Roman, and medieval structures, the course in‐
troduces students to the history, art history and archae‐
ology of Ascoli Piceno. In addi on, ITAL 681 emphasizes
the challenges that modern society confronts when
a emp ng to preserve the past. To this end, students
are exposed to the field of art restora on and have the
opportunity to par cipate in restora on projects cur‐
rently underway in the University of Ascoli Piceno resto‐
ra on lab. Field trips, papers, exams. Gen. Ed. 4 or 8
(UNH students must specify if they want this course to
sa sfy UNH Group 4 or 8 Gen. Ed. Requirement). No pre‐
requisites.

Your first week in Ascoli Piceno will be filled with ac vi es
designed to help you get acquainted with each other and
feel comfortable in your new surroundings. These will in‐
clude a walking tour of Ascoli Piceno; selec on of apart‐
ments and roommates; ge ng acquainted with UNH‐in‐
Italy academic procedures; and other prac cal infor‐
ma on.
6.2 Housing
Par cipants are housed in comfortable apartments locat‐
ed within the historic center of Ascoli Piceno.
Maintenance and Safety Issues
Students shall report maintenance and safety issues with
their housing directly to their apartment landlords. Alt‐
hough the UNH in Italy inspects apartments before ren ng
them for students, there may be safety defects or condi‐
ons that are not apparent upon visual inspec on, please
report thes immediately.
6.3 Computers and Internet Access
The Program Center has a computer lab with internet for
student academic use. It is also equipped with free wire‐
less service which allows you to use your own laptop to
connect to the internet. Before obtaining internet access a
so ware cer fica on must be installed on your laptop by
the technician at the UNH‐in‐Italy Center. A printer is
available though individuals must purchase a prin ng card.
Internet is available in the apartments and elsewhere with
the purchase of a monthly internet card.
6.4 Roommates
The EGIP shall assign students to apartments. Students
may express a preference for roommate(s) but the final
decision for assigning roommates shall remain with the
EGIP in consulta on with the Logis cs Office. Students
concerned by their housing assignment or by issues that
arise with their roommates shall confer with the Director.
6.5 Cellular Phones
All students who do not possess a cell phone that works in
Italy are required to purchase one. The Program personnel
will assist you in this process.. Apartments are not
equipped with a telephone.
Phone cards of various denomina ons may be purchased
at tabaccherie and newsstands. The most economic way
to call the U.S. is to purchase an Interna onal phone card.
For those purchasing phones in Italy, the cost of a phone is
approximately $50. Prac cal informa on: the phone com‐
pany with which students generally contract is “WIND.”
Na onal calls cost 17 cents per minute and interna onal
calls cost 70 cents per minute‐‐each with no connec on
fee. You do not pay for incoming calls; to check your credit
dial: *123#.
For safety and security reasons, students are required to
maintain an ac ve balance on their phones.
6 . 6 A c c e s s i n g Mon e y Wh i l e A b r o a d
In general, students in Italy made smaller purchases with
cash and used a credit card for larger purchases (hotels,
clothing, etc.) ATM machines are fairly accessible.
Cash
American dollars can be exchanged at local banks nearly
everywhere in the world for a commission. Students
should always carry some emergency cash with them,
both in dollars and the local currency.
ATM/Debit Card
ATM Kiosks are widely available in most places. The aver‐
age fee for ATM transac ons is about $8.00 USD per trans‐
ac on. VISA or MasterCard ATM/debit cards have good
networks overseas.
Find out from your bank exactly how your debit or ATM
card works overseas: transac on fees, daily limits, etc. You
can always ask if the bank would consider waiving the
transac on fee while you are studying abroad.
Credit Card
A growing number of businesses worldwide will accept
major U.S. credit cards. They can be handy for emergen‐
cies, large purchases or ge ng cash advances. With few
excep ons, all major credit card companies charge inter‐
na onal transac on fees that range from 2‐5%. You will
need to no fy your credit card company of the dates you
will be using the card overseas and let them know you will
be travelling as well.
Bank Account in Host Country
Regarding bank accounts in Italy, it is possible to set up
Page 9
one, but it will require a social security code and an
apartment lease agreement to do so. So, the process
could take a number of weeks to sort out.
6 . 7 A c a d e m i c A d v i s i n g
The Resident Director has responsibility for all academic
ma ers. Check carefully with academic advisors on your
home campus prior to departure to determine which
courses or types of courses will meet your degree re‐
quirements. The Resident Director cannot be expected
to be familiar with the academic requirements of differ‐
ent ins tu ons, so you are responsible for knowing as
much as possible about your own degree requirements.
Informing Program about Travel Plans
Students are required to inform the on‐site director,
Cris an Muscelli, and the administra ve assistant, Diana
Pio , in wri ng of their travel i neraries with appropri‐
ate contact informa on whenever they leave the city.
Disciplinary Authority and Process
If it is determined that the student has failed to conform
to a reasonable standard of conduct, the student will
receive no ce from the UNH‐in‐Italy Program Admin‐
istra on of termina on of his/her par cipa on in the
program.

H e a l t h a n d M e d i c a l C o s t s UNH‐in‐Italy purchases Italian health insurance on stu‐
dents’ behalf. The INA Assitalia policy covers emergency
care. This limited policy covers emergency hospital
treatment, but it does not cover outpa ent services,
office visits, minor illnesses or medica ons.
If you have a medical problem or emergency, we urge
you to please follow these guidelines:
Call the Director, Professor Chris an Muscelli immedi‐
ately. He will help you organize your care.
If you require emergency assistance, you may call 118
(Guardia Medica) for an ambulance or you may take a
taxi to the Emergency Room (Pronto Soccorso) at
Ospedale Mazzoni, which is in the Mon celli quarter of
Ascoli Piceno. If you pay cash at the emergency room,
ask for a receipt (ricevuta) for your insurance company.
You can call a taxi at 330.214500.
If your problem does not require emergency room a en‐
on, there is a general prac oner who has agreed to
see UNH students. She can also refer you to specialists, if
this is needed. Her phone number will be provided dur‐
ing the orienta on week. Please note that while the
Doctor does speak English, it is important for you to
speak slowly and clearly. In the event that you purchase
medicines, your insurance company will want a receipt
for those as well.

Joint Obliga on for Safety
A significant benefit of study abroad programs is the
chance to “see the world.” Each year thousands of stu‐
dents from many countries par cipate in the excitement
of “discovering” places and experiences new to them. The
EGIP is designed and intended to promote students’ explo‐
ra on of Italy and Europe. Except as provided in sec on
12.3 below, students shall be allowed free choice in their
choice of des na on, modes of transporta on, style and
manner of travel and companions. As a consequence and
in considera on of this broad freedom, the EGIP cannot
and does not assume any liability for loss, casualty, injury,
death or any other ill that may befall its students while
traveling on their own free me. The EGIP requires stu‐
dents to par cipate in travel safety training and orienta‐
ons.
Extended Stays in Italy and Europe
EGIP students may elect to travel in Europe before the
beginning of the program or a er its conclusion. The pro‐
gram shall not be liable for housing, food, transporta on
or other costs associated with such travel.
Please be aware 1. Non Europeans not subject to a visa
requirement may move freely within the 24 Schengen
countries for a maximum period of three months during
the six months following the date of first entry, provided
that they fulfill the entry condi ons referred to in Ar cle 5
(1)(a), (c), (d) and (e). Page 39 of the Schengen Acquis Ar ‐
cle 20
U.S. Department Travel Warning List
EGIP students shall not travel to countries or ci es listed
on the U.S. Department’s “Travel Warning List.” “Travel
Warnings are issued to describe long‐term, protracted
condi ons that make a country dangerous or unstable. A
Travel Warning is also issued when the U.S. Government's
ability to assist American ci zens is constrained due to the
closure of an embassy or consulate or because of a draw‐
down of its staff.” Check out http://travel.state.gov/ for
current travel warnings.
E a r l y T e r m i n a o n
No Par al Academic Credit
Students dismissed or suspended from the EGIP before
the comple on of the program shall not be en tled to par‐
al academic credit without approval of the Academic
Standards and Advising Commi ee.
Refunds
Students must withdraw prior to the star ng date of the
program to qualify for a refund. No refund will be granted
Page 11
once the program has commenced.
Students dismissed from the EGIP before the comple‐
on of the program shall not be en tled to full or par al
refunds of tui on, fees or other costs charged by the
University or the Program. At their sole discre on, the

Are you in imminent danger? By determining this first, you can then methodically assess your op ons
for help. Emergencies such as medical issues (i.e., appendici s, broken bones), assault, arrest or suicid‐

Chances are you will not experience any of these situa ons, but hopefully this will be informa ve
