Students in Piazza
IACE’s Summer Program has partnered with Progetto Scuole in organizing a contest among American students of Italian. The students wrote articles about the “Italian Piazza”. The winners were awarded with a trip to Italy and had a ‘real’ taste of its piazzas.
Since the summer of 2000, I have had the privilege of accompanying well over 100 IACE scholarship winners to various places in Italy. This year the program split its base with a week in Florence, followed by another week in Lignano (a resort near Venice). The group had the assignment to reflect on the piazza as a part of Italian life.
