| Italy...
what comes to mind when you hear this word? Pasta, Valentino, Versace, cappuccino, pizza, Luciano Pavarotti... or perhaps: Dante Alighieri, Michelangelo, Leonardo or Galileo. Today Italy welcomes the opportunities and challenges of yet a new millennium. In this new era, Italy emerges as an acknowledged world leader not only in its already affirmed sectors concerning Art and lifestyle, but also industrial design, fashion, production and manufacturing of many important, versatile and useful products exported to all over the world. When we think of Italy today, names such as: Benetton, Fiat, Ferragamo, Ferrero, Diesel, Alessi and Ferrari cannot be overlooked. The Italian industry once described as flamboyant and impractical, today has become a world power in many industrial fields. This is due to the sheer diversity of their products, the Italians strength and flair in design, their ability to adapt high technology to produce customized top quality goods, and their aggressive investments have given them a tremendous international advantage. Today, people from all over the world come to Italy not only to tour her beautiful cities, to immerse themselves in art and culture, but to study at the schools that have generated successful small and large businesses which have produced products of worldwide fame and have developed innovative techniques and individual enterprises. Throughout the world, Italy is a recognized leader in international study abroad programs. Study abroad programs globally value Italy as a country at the forefront in developing many new techniques in all working fields, and their programs incorporate the study of many courses which often lead students to the study of specialized areas of industry at an Italian institute. Whether the student's interest is in such disciplines as: Art History, Painting, Design, Fashion, or Manufacturing, studying in Italy will assist the student in developing and understanding the origins of Italy's success confirming one great stereotype: Italy is a land of creative people to be studied closely. Centro Linguistico Italiano Dante Alighieri, the first Italian language and culture school in Italy and recognized as a premier leader in language arts, would like to give your Institution the opportunity to develop programs which will enable your students to live the Italian experience and learn the reasons for its continuing success in the working field. |
