Why Rome?Art History is Here
Rome is one of the world’s most important historic, artistic, and cultural capitals. The city is called ‘eternal’ as it gave birth, more
powerfully than any other place, to what we call the Western World. Rome’s fascination is endless and, in it, one is constantly
surrounded by stunning architectural and artistic treasures from classical antiquity, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and the
Baroque and more recent periods.
“LA DoLce VitA” is Here
While studying in Rome, students enjoy living in a major European city, with its countless bars, restaurants, discos, pubs and cafés.
Evenings can be spent enjoying a concert in one of Rome’s many churches or taking in a movie in either English or Italian.
Art and music festivals abound in the summer: “Estate Romana” (“Roman Summer”) is a series of open-air events including
concerts, theatre, music, films, and dancing, all to be enjoyed in the delightful evening air.
europe is Here
Rome’s location in central Italy works well for students who want to explore other Italian cities and Europe. Fast, economical
transportation connects you to most national and international destinations.
tHe WorLD is Here
Rome hosts students from all over the world who come to pursue studies notably in Italian language, history, and culture and in art
history and architecture. Such studies are of course facilitated by Rome’s superb libraries, archives, and museums.
Most of our students agree that Club Italiano Dante Alighieri offers a unique, affordable blend of personalized programs with a rich
cultural experience in one of the world’s greatest cities. Here, you will acquire memories lasting a lifetime.
And Why Sermoneta?continue your Journey into History
Sermoneta, with its Caetani Castle and its perfectly preserved medieval churches, is one of the most beautiful towns of Italy.
Film directors Roberto Benigni and Massimo Troisi have shot films here. Walking in Sermoneta’s picturesque alleys and piazzas,
you’ll feel that you have stepped through a time portal into another age of the world.
stroLL tHrougH tHe Most roMAntic gArDen in tHe WorLD
Sermoneta is home to the Gardens of Ninfa, which were voted “The Most Romantic Garden in the World” in 2014 by the New York
Times. The Gardens contain more than 13,000 species of plantlife as well as medieval ruins, towers, and frescos.
Work WitH LocAL ArtisAns AnD Artists
You can have the opportunity to work with Sermoneta’s metalworkers who recreate medieval weapons, master craftsmen who make
violins and violas in an ancient synagogue, and artisans who handcraft mosaics and ceramics.

Why the Dante Club?To Change Your PoinT of View
The courses we offer are experiences that will help you to develop a new understanding of the world and of its peoples, whatever
program of study you may choose to pursue.
To Learn To STudY and To grow
We encourage students to better learn how to study. The ability to study stems from students’ being grounded in life and being able
to redirect and redefine their own lives. They need to find spaces in which to study themselves and their own weak points if they are
to grow, to learn new things. We provide such spaces.
To exPerienCe CuLTuraL immerSion
Students benefit from our interactive lessons followed by experiences of cultural immersion. Cultural immersion allows them
to test themselves by applying the lessons they have learned in class to their everyday lives in Rome.
