University of Pittsburgh: Sicily - Pitt in Italy

This program is designed for students interested in the history and archaeology of the ancient Mediterranean. The rich cultural heritage and sweeping panoramas of Sicily provide the background to an unforgettable exploration of over 1,000 years of Greek and Roman history and culture.  Though based in the southeastern coastal town of Syracuse, we leave no corner of Sicily unexplored. Come visit some of the best-preserved Greek temples and theaters in Europe; tour medieval towns, hidden caves, and lonely beaches; hike the slope of Mt. Etna. Pitt in Sicily makes the whole island your classroom!
