It was definitely worthwhile. I learned about archaeological ceramics and conservation/preservation and I learned about Italian culture. Being immersed in a country gives you a new perspective and that is invaluable. Sina McLin - University of Tulsa View Entire Review
About
San Gemini Preservation Studies is a summer field school that organizes lectures, research, fieldwork, workshops and fieldtrips in the disciplines of historic preservation, restoration and conservation. It is located in Central Italy in the city of San Gemini.

The field projects involve the survey and restoration of medieval buildings, the archaeological excavation in the ancient Roman city of Carsulae, as well as work on local archival material.
The program is a collaboration between scholars from various universities and local preservation groups, fostering a multidisciplinary approach to historic preservation. All academic activities are held in English.
