After a stay of a few days in a pensione with the group, each student lives in an Italian home. The home stay is an integral part of the program and encourages active participation in the life of an Italian community. Host families reflect the diversity of Italian households and include parents with children as well as widows whose grown children have left the home. Some live closer to the city center than others, but few live in the old center itself. Breakfasts and dinners are provided, and students are free to arrange noonday meals in accordance with each day’s activities.
