L'ultima Settimana di Scuola

The Last Week of School

Our last week of school was over too soon, and for us it ended with a teary good-bye as we gave each of our instructors and staff a hug American style. What wonderful, caring people, devoted to giving each student the best overall experience possible. Their help was not limited to teaching the Italian language – it moved out beyond the classroom.

We met so many wonderful people starting with the vivacious Camille and her four footed companion Gracie - both from Florida. Camille, whose absence I immediately felt when passing by her abandoned flat, was with us all four weeks. Next was the youthful Leanne from Canada, then Greg and Tracy, a lovely couple from New Zealand who were here two weeks and Thomas from Germany, followed by the soft spoken Sherry from Florida, and Franca, a burst of enthusiastic energy, from Canada/Florida - each person adding to the richness of our experience in their own unique way.

Il Pranzo, the school’s tradition of joining together for lunch at the end of the week, was a lovely way to bring our month of schooling to a close.
