Siena Italian Studies is a “gentle” full immersion program for motivated and curious students. Since 2004 the program has been 100% independent and the staff and founders are extremely proud of the experiences that they create for the students and strive to be the best study abroad program in Italy. The program is located in the heart of Tuscany in the perfect setting of one of Italy’s most unique cities. Students can experience Siena Italian Studies for a semester, a full year, or for shorter periods of time during the summer.
Siena Italian Studies is conveniently located in Siena’s medieval city center, the perfect place to discover Italy’s rich history. Our area of town is named Fontebranda after the majestic water well that has been bringing fresh water into the city center since the 1100’s.
Everything in Siena’s medieval center is a quick walk away from our location. Our study center is close to major sites such as the Piazza Del Campo, the Duomo di Siena, and the Santa Maria Della Scala museum. If you need to take a bus, the main bus depot (Piazza Gramsci) is 10 minutes by foot.
