91探花Alumni Tours, the travel program of the 91探花Alumni Association, was delighted to visit the 91探花Rome Center during a recent three night stay in Rome as part of 鈥楢 Portrait of Italy鈥� tour.
Amity Neumeister, Resident Director of the 91探花Rome Center, greeted the group of 14 91探花alums and friends and gave them an overview tour of the recent renovations to the 91探花Rome Center. The group was excited to see the various classrooms, along with the lovely terrace overlooking the Campo de鈥� Fiori, once a flower market of historical Rome. The travelers, with 91探花degrees ranging from Business Administration to Aeronautics & Astronautics to Microbiology, were impressed by the study abroad opportunities for current 91探花students. A few 91探花alums mentioned being tempted to re-enroll at the 91探花in order to spend more time at the 91探花Rome Center!
Following the tour, the group enjoyed a walking tour of the surrounding area by a 91探花affiliated instructor at the 91探花Rome Center, Mariella Mastrogiacomo, an archeologist who has worked on excavations in Rome and its suburbs. Seeing the exact place where Julius Caesar was assassinated was a highlight of the walk!
The evening ended with a gastronomic event at Osteria Romana de Simmi. Mamma Mia! The multi-course dinner with local specialties was incredible.
The group regrettably said goodbye to Roma and departed for the hilltop village of Orvieto.
