intersections between food and Italian history, art, culture, sustainability, and identity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Located at the AIFS Abroad Global Education Center (GEC) in Rome, this program integrates classroom instruction with experiential learning, addressing topics such as Italian gastronomic heritage, global food systems, and the narrative power of culinary traditions. Through visits to traditional markets in Campo de\u2019 Fiori, meals in family-owned trattorias, and excursions to local agricultural communities, students will gain firsthand insight into enduring food practices and their socio-cultural significance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking for a longer study abroad experience?

Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to the Vatican, this remarkable city is a living testament to centuries of human achievement. From the grandeur of the Colosseum and the elegance of the Spanish Steps to the charm of the Trevi Fountain and the tranquility of its gardens, Rome invites endless discovery. Its celebrated cuisine, rich religious heritage, and world-renowned film industry make it not just a city that preserves stories, but one that continues to inspire them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, Rome is a thriving metropolis of more than four million people \u2014 the capital of Italy and the fourth most populous city in the European Union. Its dynamic character is shaped by centuries of cultural exchange and the diverse communities who have made it their home. Rome is a city where ancient traditions and modern innovation coexist, where cosmopolitan energy hums through its streets, yet a deep reverence for the past remains at its heart. It is a city that feels both timeless and constantly evolving, offering visitors and scholars alike a rich and layered experience that few other places in the world can match.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"block-tabs__button-wrapper\">\n\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"block-tabs__button\" data-target=\"page-block-29\">\n\t\t\t\t\tSite Staff\t\t\t<\/button>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"page-block-29\" class=\"block-tabs__tab-content\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"print-only\">\n\t\t\tSite Staff\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-aifs-abroad-in-rome-director-summer-program\">AIFS Abroad in Rome Director, Summer Program<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aifsabroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/rd_rome_rosanna.jpeg\" alt=\"Rosanna Graziani headshot.\" class=\"wp-post-121155 wp-image-37536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aifsabroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/rd_rome_rosanna.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/www.aifsabroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/rd_rome_rosanna-80x100.jpeg 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 120px) 100vw, 120px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rosanna Graziani<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hold an M.A. in Modern Languages from the University of Florence.
