Rome (Population 3 million) constantly conjures up vivid reminders of its glorious past as the city that built the greatest Empire the World has ever known. With its sunny climate, stately umbrella pines, and an unparalleled wealth of history around every corner, Rome's beauty quickly overtakes all who enter its ancient walls. A walk or bus ride through even the most commonplace quarters of the city yields encounters with innumerable monuments, towering pillars, and major imperial buildings that still stand imposingly just as they have for 2,000 years!

Many other eras have left their brilliant mark on Rome as well. The city's catacombs, cathedrals, and world-class museums boast an incredible array of Renaissance, Baroque, Medieval, and Paleo-Christian art. Spending a summer or semester with Veritas will give you the opportunity to absorb the city's finest points on a much deeper level than the casual tourist passing through!
