From the sophisticated cities of the north to the charming regions of the south, Italy is a fascinating country rich in history and culture. And if you happen to love food, fashion or soccer, beware!

You could be living anywhere in Italy, including Sicily or Sardinia, and you may even have the chance to go on a “mini” exchange where you’ll live with a family in another part of Italy.

Make the most of your time in Italy with an optional mini-exchange to another part of the country. Sounds like a great way to see as much as Italy as you can!
