    • Tuscania Program and Curriculum

    The LdM program at Tuscania is based on a full immersion concept. Because of the town's small size and its geographic location, students live and study in a fully Italian and a more traditional small community-based environment. Integration in the community is fundamental to the program, encouraging students to create relationships in a cultural context. The curriculum has been designed to promote the historical, artistic and cultural qualities that make this part of Italy unique. Thus courses in history and archaeology focus on the Etruscan, Roman and medieval civilizations that are at the core of Tuscania's development, while courses in culinary arts reflect Tuscania's connection to the agricultural cycles and traditions of the region.

    Students interested in film, TV or theatre will be joining a longstanding artistic tradition of filmmakers, painters, musicians and playwriters who were inspired by this unique town, which also has a beautiful theatre. Culinary courses reflect Tuscania's connection to a traditional cuisine that is still solidly linked to the history and the agricultural seasons of the region. The LdM Mediterranean Culinary Art School programs teaches students to recognize the natural quality in raw ingredients, combined with the ability to create and reinterpret traditional Italian recipes in an innovative way. Our goal is to teach Italian culinary art by celebrating traditions and cooking innovation.

    Academic Programs: Fall or Spring Semester, January Intersession, Summer.

    "The archaeological dig site in progress, located in the hills of Tuscania, represents an optimum occasion for both meeting and collaboration between the students of Lorenzo de' Medici and those at the University of Florence"
