Latin Students Travel to Italy |

- marveling at the Sistine Chapel and praying in St. Peter's Basilica
- touring an ancient Roman olive grove and tasting authentic olive oil
- learning how to make mozzarella cheese
- swimming in the Mediterranean Sea
- strolling through the winding streets of Matera, Ostuni, and Alberobello
- attending a Roman cooking class, learning how to make pasta, and enjoying the fruits of our labor
- reciting Latin poetry in an ancient Roman theater
