With a lively university community and active art scene, Viterbo is a bustling modern town located approximately one and half hours from Rome and Florence, with easy connections to the Mediterranean and Mountain regions. Viterbo provides students with an exciting setting from which to gain a working knowledge of the Italian language and to experience its rich culture away from English-speaking tourist areas.
