Oakton Tour Showcases Cultural Italy
Experience art, history, and culture during a two-week tour of Italy offered through Oakton Community College. Trips are scheduled in July and October.
Begin in the capital of Milan, and view gothic cathedrals throughout the city. After a brief stop at Verona, home of Romeo and Juliet, visit Venice and attractions including St. Mark's Square and Basilica, Piombi Prisons, and the Bridge of Sighs. In Florence, visit the Academia, home of Michelangelo's David, and Uffizi Gallery, which is filled with works by Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Raffaello, and Botticelli. The tour concludes in Rome, with visits to the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel, the Colosseum, and catacombs along Old Appian Way.
Along the journey, savor Italian culture through cuisine, art, and personal interaction. Lower cost versions of this learning vacation are available for the budget-minded traveler. Alternative trips include more modest accommodations and meal packages.
