Alumni College in Tuscany

Tuscany, its incomparable legacy of historic and artistic riches: an ideal setting for this educational program. This tour, shared with Hollins University, offers excellent value with 3 meals/day, accommodations, and all seminars and excursions included.

The 9-day, 7-night tour is based in the historic town of Cortona, an artists’ haven. Stay in the stately Hotel San Luca, with sweeping views of the lush Tuscan countryside. Experts discuss Cortona and its environs, the region’s history and art, and Italy’s contemporary political, social and economic status. Excursions include walking tour of Cortona; visit to the Museum of the Etruscan Academy; wine-tasting in the Tuscan countryside; trip to Siena; visits to the towns of Perugia, Assisi, and Florence, with special lunches; visit to Montepulciano.

Enjoy a special “Meet the People” forum – a question-and-answer session with the people of Cortona (many do not speak English, but their views and comments will be interpreted and translated by our Campus Director).

All dates and itineraries are subject to change.
