STUDYING IN ITALY
Italy, in its dynamic industrialized north as well as in its slower agrarian south, may be the world’s most art-filled nation. Italian artists and architects have been producing masterworks for 3,000 years. Today, Italy’s Tuscany region alone has more classified historical monuments than any other entire country. Ravishing churches are everywhere, some displaying enough fine sculptures and paintings to fill a museum. Surrounded and stimulated by this cultural largess, Italians can become passionate about almost everything—politics, soccer, opera, fashion, even food, and with good reason: Italian cooking is one of the world’s favorite cuisines, whether dished up in high-toned restaurants or in Mom’s kitchen.
School
The Italian Constitution guarantees the right to education for all, regardless of means, up to the highest level; freedom in teaching methods; and an education free of ideological manipulation. The Constitution also gives the State the power to set requirements for education at all levels and establishes that at least the first 10 years of education (from ages six to 16) are compulsory and free of charge for all.
LIVING IN ITALY
Lifestyle and Family Living
Italians are often described as warm and friendly people. Strong, traditional ties bind families together and are of great importance, although Italian family dynamics vary from zone to zone. Normally, northern Italians are a little more reserved than southern Italians.
Dress and Appearance
Italians believe it is important to dress well at all times. In general, young people dress informally but with care, wearing jeans and T-shirts during the warm season. Seasonal and regional clothing are appropriate. If you are sent to the alpine region of Italy, come prepared for a long, cold winter. If you will be on the southern Mediterranean coast, winter will be short and rainy, and summer will be hot. Schools seldom require uniforms.
