In partnership with the non-profit organization ISAR (The International Society for Archaeology, Art and Architecture of Rome ) which is dedicated to promoting the study, conservation and improvement of the cultural heritage of Rome, this five day educational program introduces participants to the archaeology and topography of Ancient Rome. 

The millennia-long history of Rome and the wealth of architectural heritage preserved here make it the perfect venue for an exciting week on the historical-topographical evolution of the city, from early historical time to the start of the middle ages. The five-day program will take place in Rome where, beginning with orientation sessions, students will spend the week attending exciting on-site lessons and thematic workshops.
