Dear Readers,
First of all a hearty Italian greeting.
It is with pleasure that I introduce the new Guide of EDUITALIA, a no profit organization
which has among its basic aims the international diffusion of the Italian culture in
the field of Study Abroad.
The EDUITALIA Guide proposes a selection of the best academic courses of schools/
universities , trying in this way to represent a cultural guidance compass for the foreign
student.
Italy is a nation which enchants in every Region for its naturalistic wonders, for its
considerable historical, cultural and artistic heritage which turns our country into an
open air gallery.
Italy is described by those who had the possibility to study and to live there, even for
a short period, as a paradise for lovers of art, culture and savoir-vivre.
And I am sure that thanks to the EDUITALIA Guide, foreign students and schools
abroad can choose their favourite places for the best cultural and, in the meantime,
tourist experiences.
In the Guide they will be able to find, in fact, the courses of the best schools present
in our country, including Design and Fashion institutes, Art institutes (Sculpture,
Painting, Ceramics), Italian and foreign universities with their humanistic, technical
and scientific courses even in English.
A better world of peace can be created only with the birth of a new global citizen
and the student is the driving force of this hope.

Roman Aosta - Aosta,
also known as the
Rome of the Alps is a
city rich with numerous
Roman remains; The
Theatre, Forum, Au
gustan Arch, Praetorian
Gates, Cyptoporticus,
and Pailleron Tower.
These wonderful
structures are an inte
gral part of Valle
d'Aosta's identity, a
place where modernity
constantly draws upon
its ancient roots.
Valle d'Aosta is famous
for its castles and witness to
a particularly rich and intense
feudal history. In its primitive
fortifications, military forts,
sumptuous courtly residenc
es, towers and fortresses, vis
itors will remain enchanted
by the magic and charm of
these 'sentries of the past'.
Follow in the footsteps of pil
grims along the Franciscan
Way, which up until the Mid
dle Ages was the only route
between England and Italy.
Aosta

VALLE DAOSTA
Passing over the Great Saint Bernard Pass and leading directly to Rome,
this ancient route will allow you to discover numerous sanctuaries, solitary
consecrated cells and see a different side of Valle d'Aosta at a slower and
more attentive pace while taking in all the details of our precious history.
Spirituality has deep roots in Valle d'Aosta, visible on the medieval pilgrim
ways, in sanctuaries, churches and chapels. There are countless examples of
age-old faith: imposing Gothic bell towers, superb décor, lavish frescoes,
precious crucifixes, prestigious shrines and many other treasures to discover
and admire.

culture and the study of the Italian language
throughout the world. Its founder, Professor
Piero Ceria, has always wished that Turin,
the capital of the Region of Piedmont, a city
full of history, culture as well as natural and
artistic beauty, be a hub for students from all
over the world.
Turin boasts a

European cities.
Turin is in the center of an area which is
distinct for its strong technological innovation
and a great desire to do business. Here the
students can integrate their normal course
of studies at SJIU with organized internships
with industries such as FIAT, FERRERO,
ALENIA and many others.
The main building of SJIU is situated in a
historical nineteenth-century palazzo, splen
did for its architecture and décor.
SJIU, in Turin, offers two semesters: Fall and
Spring as well as a special Summer session.
The classes are held entirely in English.
The academic content of the courses is not
limited to classroom instruction but also
includes cultural and linguistic activities and
encourages research and encounters within
the community of Turin.

VENETO
The cities of the Veneto
region are jewels that
preserve precious his
torical and artistic
relics. The region is a
rich land, embellished
with the enduring
stamp of the Serenis
sima Republic.
From the mountains to the
sea, Veneto boasts six pro
tected nature areas. Lesser
known than the more visited
tourist destinations, these
areas continue to preserve
natural wildlife in its origi
nal uncontaminated state.
Among the most beautiful
mountains in the world, the
Dolomites offer over 400 ki
lometres of ski runs in the
winter, a veritable paradise
for skiers, and an exciting
location for a winter holiday!

VENETO
A pure and uncontaminated environment reigns over the entire area,
which is also an accessible and exciting place to live. Nature is generous
in the winter, from December to April, when the Dolomites become the
preferred destination for thousands of skiers and snowboarders - but
snow sports are not the only attraction here. Cortina d'Ampezzo, the
queen of the Dolomites and capital of Nordic and Alpine ski, is located
right in the Dolomiti Superski district with Mount Civetta.
Venice is one of the most unique cities in the world. Its history began
around 1500 years ago on the islands of the lagoon and developed in a
way completely unlike any other Italian or European city. The city had
strong relationships with the Orient whose influence helped Venice to
eventually grow and become one of the major economic powers during
the Renaissance.
The Venetians decorated their city with beautiful paintings, sculptures
and architecture and today Venice is considered one of the art capitals
of the world.
It is a magical and romantic city that presents itself as a fascinating
labyrinth of tiny streets, canals and bridges. One can easily discover the
elegant palazzos, impressive museums and churches along with the
Grand Canal and Rialto Bridge. After shopping in the small boutiques
and enjoying the beautiful sights, you can relax at one of the many local
restaurants and experience the richness of the Venetian cuisine.

Live and travel safely abroad
The Visa Systems Service is designed to assist individual students, universities,
schools and study abroad programs. The goal of the Platform3000 Group is to
facilitate the preparation of documents required to obtain an Italian Study Visa
through services such as Visa Consulting, followed by Visa Processing at the
appropriate Consulate, and later an Italian Permit to Stay Service at the
appropriate Italian Public Offices.
The customer who wishes to obtain an Italian Study Visa may choose to either
address the Consulate personally or outsource the handling of their documentation
to the Platform3000 Group. Platform3000 offers a simple and alternative solution
in dealing with the complex procedures mandated by the Consulates. The
Consulates and the Italian Embassy, however, remain the Public Government
Offices ultimately authorized to grant and issue Visas and therefore the issuance
of Visas may not be guaranteed, even if the application is entrusted to the
Platform3000 Group.
Platform3000 can assist groups of students in preparing and submitting their
Italian Permit to Stay applications as well. The special on-line Permit to Stay
program and detailed instructions guide students step-by-step through the entire
preparation process.
Once all required original documents are received, Platform3000 prepares the
application folders and submits them to the required authorities on behalf of the
students. Students will receive a temporary receipt for the submitted applications
and will ultimately be contacted directly by the local police station (The Questura)
for fingerprinting.
Students, educational institutions, as well as Italian Public Offices and authorities
benefit from our Visa Systems Service as it significantly facilitates the administrative
process in regards to students. This service is increasingly essential as the
number of American students studying in Italy continues to rise.

LIGURIA
A trip through Liguria
is a continuous search
for hidden corners in a
nature whose scent is
that of salt and sun.
Liguria is also rich in
monuments which ap
pear suddenly and fas
cinate with their
amazing beauty. Ancient
defence towers stretch out
towards the sky-blue immen
sity, small churches are sur
rounded by clusters of pine
trees, oaks or chestnut woods,
sanctuaries situated on moun
tain peaks. Miles of walks with
stupendous panoramic views
on sea and inland abound in
this region and there are
many trattorias and cozy res
taurants where one can enjoy
tasty traditional Ligurian
cooking. It is a wealthy half
moon of land between sky
and sea, where there is always
something new to discover
and to love, with its many
colourful tourist festivals,
fairs, cultural and internation
al sports events.

MARCHE
Travellers who want the
best of central Italy
should head for Le
Marche, the third region
alongside Tuscany and
Umbria, that makes up
the area.
Located on the eastern
side of central Italy,
between the Adriatic Sea and
the high Appennine
mountains, much of the
region remains unspoiled by
the ravages of mass tourism.
The Atlantic coast is known
as a mecca for "sun and sand"
holiday makers for decades,
but few venture far from the
beaches. IInland, perhaps
more so than anywhere else
in Central Italy, one can find
places where time really has
stood still. Compared to the
more bustling tourist centers
of Central Italy, here culture
comes in more easily digested
portions while not sacrificing
quality.

Ascoli Piceno is the ideal place to cherish
the Italian quality of life and spend time in
an Italian provincial town of art, located in a
privileged position, midway (just 30 minutes)
between the sandy beaches of the Adriatic
sea and the awe-inspiring Sibillini mountains.
Its surroundings offer many places to visit,
little towns, and a countryside really worth
seeing. Yet, Ascoli is also very close to Rome
(only 2 ½ hours).
Spring, summer, and early fall offer the de
lightful possibility of being able to take a short
trip after morning lessons and find yourself
on a sandy beach.
In winter, the adjacent snow-capped moun
tains are yours for a weekend of skiing.
Founded in 1996 and recognized by the
Italian Ministry of Education as a Teacher
Training Center, the Accademia Italiana is
Accademia Italiana
Via XIX Settembre, 1
63100 Ascoli Piceno (Italy)
also recognized by several US Colleges and
Universities for Credit Transfers, and Ascoli
is already the seat for the Study Abroad
Program of Unity College in Maine and UNH.
Accademia Italiana not only offers Italian
Language and Cultural Courses, but also
courses in ceramics, tombolo (pillow lace),
wine tasting, learning the art of fine olive oil,
opera, etc.
The school also provides students with a
wide range of leisure activities: movies, plays,
night life, visits to museums and art galleries,
excursions to nearby national parks, etc.
As for accommodations, you can choose to
stay in a hotel, an apartment or with one of
our very carefully selected host families.

Florence is home to a multitude of famous works of art and is a city
overflowing with piazzas, fortresses, green parks and gardens. There
are numerous medieval streets filled with artisans and merchants selling
and showing their traditional Florentine crafts from art to jewelry and
leather. One can discover the most authentic spirit of the city by
walking through the small
cobblestone passages, over the Arno
River and visiting the small wine
cellars and restaurants. Thousands
come to admire the famous art and
architecture from the Renaissance
such as Botticellis Spring in the Uffizi
Museum, Michelangelos David, and
Brunelleschis Dome. Florentines
have maintained their traditional
cuisine which consists of simple
dishes always prepared with fresh and hearty ingredients like olive oil,
meats, vegetables and bread. They also enjoy elaborate recipes and
creations that recall the splendor and
decadence of the Renaissance court.
Not to be missed: Discover the
essence of Florence by walking along
the Lungarno and over the Ponte
Vecchio bridge. Visit the magnificent
Duomo and Baptistry, stop in the
Piazza della Signoria to imagine life
five centuries ago and then head over
to Santa Croce and visit the tombs
of Michelangelo and Galileo. At
sunset, head up to Piazza
Michelangelo and enjoy the
panoramic views of the city.

CAMPANIA
High-class shops, stateof-the-art health spas
and aristocratic resi
dences -all reasons to
visit Campania. The
charm and beauty of its
towns and villages takes
visitors back in time.
This is the other side of
a region that not only
offers art, folklore and
delicious food, but can
also give you an alternative
holiday with shopping in lux
ury boutiques, days spent in
modern health spas or stays
in historic residences. The
unique archaeological heritage
we can admire today in Cam
pania is the result of centuries
of foreign peoples ruling over
this region and influencing its
arts and civilization. From the
temples of the Magna Graecia
and the buried towns of
Pompeii and Herculaneum, to
the masterpieces kept in the
many museums and churches
of the region, and the archae
ologial excavations of prehis
toric sites. Campania is a must
if one wishes to explore the
development of human history
and civilization.

CAMPAPANIA
Naples has an aristocratic spirit. It is the city of the Spanish and French
monarchs with royal palaces, castles and noble villages. The city is set
between the sea and hills and faces one of the most beautiful gulfs in
the world. Here one finds numerous basilicas, Baroque churches and
antique cloisters, including the celebrated Santa Chiara. The flavors of
the wine and gastronomic traditions can be experienced in the cafes and
historic restaurants where pizza was invented.
Not to be missed: Visit the Castle of Ovo that arises from a little island in
front of the Santa Lucia quarter. The name derives from a legend by Virgil
of an enchanted egg that was placed within its walls. It became the castle of
Frederick II who made it his residence and the seat of the royal treasury.
Inside are more great sights: the Room of Columns, the Loggia of Arches,
the Church of Salvatore and the Towers: Maestra and Normandia.

Extending for more
than 150 kilometers
between two seas which
have modeled its shape
and history, Salento has
an enchanting coastline.
Anyone who would like
to do a round tour of
the two seas (a little more
than 200 kilometers) should
leave from Casalabate, a beach
not far from Santa Maria di
Cerrate Abbey in Squinzano,
and follow the low and sandy
coast south, through Torre
Rinalda, Torre Chianca and
Frigole, shaded by pinewoods
to San Cataldo; with its
remains of the Messapian
town «Lupiae» and of Adrians
Roman port, and then
continue along the panoramic
state road 611 as far as the
«Cesine»; one of the most
interesting and evocative
marsh lands in Europe,
protected by an international
convention.

CALABRIA
It is practically impos
sible to find one key to
interpret this varied
region, rich as it is in
history with its myriad
of different towns and
its utter absence of
monotony.
The extraordinary
morphological wealth of
this region is striking.
In Calabria youll find every
thing - limpid seas, the sol
emn, generous and hospitable
mountains, the wild As
promonte and fertile country
side. Capture the irreducible
essence of a land firmly em
bedded in traditions. Absorb
the extroverted nature of the
Calabrese people who know
how to be both generous and
united. Not many populations
have lived such a deep attach
ment to a specific way of being
which they fiercely safeguard
at all costs, while at the same
time managing to amalgamate
and blend together with the
numerous civilisations that
they have come in contact
with. Calabria is a land of in
terwoven cultures, each filled
with respect and a sense of
sharing.

CALABRIA
Calabria is not simply a land to pass through, but rather, a region to get
to know inch by inch, where the variety and beauty of the landscape
combines magnificently with the multitude of artistic and cultural aspects
that form the basis of our civilisation.
With its eight hundred kilometres of coastline Calabria is a region deeply
immersed in the Mediterranean. The economy, culture, history, folklore of
this region with its thousand colours and perfumes, owe their existence to
the sea. Its no wonder that every
stretch of coastline is defined by a
colour according to the sunsets and
dawns and the vegetation flanking its
shores: the Costa Viola (Purple coast),
Costa dei Gelsomini (jasmine coast),
the Sabbie Bianche (white sands) of
Tropea, the Sabbie Rosse (red sands)
of Crotone. The climate is mild from
April to September with the possibility
of pleasant excursions all year round. The Tyrrhenian coast alternates between
wide beaches and stretches of steep rocky bays with grottoes at the waters
edge and inlets reachable only by sea.
87
CALABRIA
Tropea, or the pearl of the
Tyrrhenian, rising up on a section of
the coastline filled with picturesque
reefs, steep cliffs and inlets is one of
Calabrias greatest tourist attractions.
The last town here is Capo Vaticano
where you can enjoy a magnificent
view of the entire Calabrian
Tyrrhenian coastline. After Capo
Vaticano, Costa Viola begins, taking
its name from the colour of its
remarkable sunsets.
Nicotera, the Tyrrhenian Sea Gem,
holds an extraordinary patrimony,
made of natural beauties, of a
millenary history, of culture and
traditions. These elements are the
result of a magnificent intertwining,
composed by typical artistic and
architectural beauties. Thanks to its
position on the Tyrrhenian Sea,
Nicotera still keeps the charme of its
particularly pure environment and
offers to its visitors a phantasmagoria
88
of lights, colours, perfumes and tastes
and a sea whose waves inaugurated
myth and history.
Reggio Calabria stands in a splendid
position on the Straits of Messina,
with a magnificent seaside promenade
which has been immortalised by poets
and writers Gabriele DAnnunzio
defined it as the loveliest kilometre
in Italy. The Duomo and the Chiesa
of the Ottimati are well worth a visit
and the Museo Nazionale containing
interesting prehistoric and
archaeological collections, works of
mediaeval and modern art and
numismatic collections. One of the
greatest attractions of the museum
are the Riace Bronzes, statues of two
warriors, discovered by chance in 1972
in the sea 300 metres off the coast at
a depth of 8 metres. It is a university
city, boasting one of the most
prestigious faculties of architecture
in the country.
and mathematician, Pythagoras,
settled here in 530BC and
founded the harsh Pythagorean
school of religious and scientific
thought.
CALABRIA
In the province of Reggio Calabria
we can visit Locri and Gerace, both
rich in art works and history, the
former on the sea, and the latter sitting
on the hill above. Locri Epizephyrii
represents a pilaster of Calabrian ar
chaeology. Solemn, noble Gerace is a
town rich in ancient testimonies that
rises up on a cone trunk completely
in tuff. Its city centre is still intact
with historic churches and palazzos.
In many of the workshops the ancient
trade of making utensils in glazed
terracotta with the shapes from Magna
Grecia is still carried on. The seaside
continues flat and rather linear as far
as Crotone, a site of considerable
importance in the history of Magna
Grecia since the philosopher, physicist
89
CALABRIA
Cosenza, known also as the Athens of Calabria is the leading cultural
center of the region. The creator of the old town centre was Frederick
II of Swabia, who in the thirteenth century transformed the Castle on
the Rocca of Brezia.
The sixteenth-century witnessed a great cultural flowering, partly as the
result of the founding of an Accademia which is still active today, and to the
work of Bernardino Telesio. In the piazza where the splendid Palazzo del
Governo stands, we can also admire the Teatro Rendano.
Among the monumental edifices of Cosenza is the fifth-century Cathedral,
entirely rebuilt after the earthquake of 1184. The interior houses the Gothic
sepulchre of Isabella of Aragon, the sarcophagus of Meleagrus and Atalanta
and the wooden crucifix named after Telesio. The adjacent Palazzo
Arcivescovile houses the Reliquary-cross considered one of the most precious
works of art in Calabria. The civic Museum offers an interesting visit in view
of the vast repertory of antiquities originating from the surrounding territory,
ranging from prehistory to the Roman period. The University of Calabria has
its premises in Arcavacata, a district of Cosenza.

SICILIA
It is not easy to under
stand Sicily. Like a beau
tiful woman, Sicily needs
a certain type of approach
and cannot be easily won
over. All one can do is to
let himself be seduced, as
were the first Mycenaeans
when they passed this
way to buy obsidian and pumicestone in the Aeolian Islands,
when nothing else was known
for cutting and polishing.
The Phonecians also journeyed
along these coasts, establishing
trading stations and commerce
with every corner of the Medi
terranean. These were people
who lived in peace, trading with
Siculs, Sicans, and Elymians.
Sicily welcomes everyone, and
has always done so. Everyone
becomes Sicilian - you don't have
to been born here. Hermocrates
of Syracuse made this point way
back in 424 BC when he said:
We are neither Ionians nor
Dorians, we are Sicilians.. We
use the hand gestures of the
ancient Phoenician merchants,
we are as crafty as the Greeks,
as captious as the Byzantines,
and as blasé as the knights of
Andalusia, and we still show
great respect for the dead and
for the necropolises of all those
who died on the island.

SARDEGNA
The island of Sardinia
hides many ancient
treasuries and offers a
variety of fascinating,
evocative landscapes, all
rich in history.
also offers its visitors
a crystal clear sea, the
perfume of the Medi
terreanean vegetation,
and the fine hospitality
of its people, both along the
cost and inland. Because of
its location in the heart of the
west Mediterranean, Sardinia
has been besieged by the
Carthaginians, the Romans,
the Byzantines, the Spaniards
and the Piedmontese, and all
have left important traces of
their culture and traditions.
This enchanting island also
offers a harmonious mix of
constructions: the unrepeat
able local nuraghi stand side
by side with Pisan towers, cas

churches and other monu
ments.
