蘑菇视频 Alumni Tours, the travel program of the 蘑菇视频 Alumni Association, was delighted to visit the 蘑菇视频 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 蘑菇视频 Rome Center, greeted the group of 14 蘑菇视频 alums and friends and gave them an overview tour of the recent renovations to the 蘑菇视频 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 蘑菇视频 degrees ranging from Business Administration to Aeronautics & Astronautics to Microbiology, were impressed by the study abroad opportunities for current 蘑菇视频 students. A few 蘑菇视频 alums mentioned being tempted to re-enroll at the 蘑菇视频 in order to spend more time at the 蘑菇视频 Rome Center!
Following the tour, the group enjoyed a walking tour of the surrounding area by a 蘑菇视频 affiliated instructor at the 蘑菇视频 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.
