In brief

Italian summers are just wonderful: filled with bright beauty with long and sunny days, gelato at any time of the day, aperitivos in busy squares and dinners in gardens… An incredible time to discover historical masterpieces, exploring captivating architecture, and embracing the vibrant spirit of Italy during these sun-soaked days.

If you are between 17 and 22, AHA’s 2-4 weeks courses are a brilliant way to pass some of the summer while doing something worthwhile and of real value. Study many of the greatest works of art on site while travelling through Italy.

Carefully structured, this course is an excellent overview of art history for those new to the subject and particularly useful to those already studying it. There are two courses: Northern Italy, which travels to Venice, Florence & Rome, and then there is the adventurous Southern Italy Course which travels from Naples and Pompeii to Sicily. Some students do both courses and stay in Italy for a month.

Our 2 weeks Southern Italy Summer Program

Join our two-week Southern Italy course for an immersive journey through Sicily’s captivating history all the way to Naples’ bustling and vibrant streets . Explore ancient Greek temples in Agrigento, witness the influence of Norman history in the marvellous Palermo, the legacy of Baroque in cities like Noto. Discover the rich Mediterranean heritage that characterises the south and explore the intersection of cultures, religions, and civilizations that have shaped Southern Italy’s unique identity.

Best trip of my life! Would recommend to anyone.

“I went on the Northern Italy summer trip with AHA this past summer, and it was without a doubt one of the best experiences I have had. I have always been interested in art, but was never able to take an Art History course at my school, but that did not at all limit my ability to participate in the program. The tutors are wonderful teachers and bring excitement to every piece of art, as well as each new city you explore. After going on this trip, I have a whole new view on art and the time periods we studied. Would absolutely go on this trip again”!

Our 4 weeks Combination course

This is a combination of the Northern course and the Southern one. We will begin by going to Palermo, Agrigento, Syracuse.  Then on to Naples, Florence, Venice and Rome.

One of the many appeals to this course is that it is a complete experience of Italy, from North to South. An experience to experience the country in all its differences and facets.

It was a really amazing experience.

“Every day we were looking at different pieces of art in their locations. The tutors were so knowledgable and obviously had passion for the subject. They were also loads of fun to be around and didn’t take anything too seriously. In Italy, the food was so good and we had great weather. One of the best experiences! Made some best friends. Would definitely recommend to anyone who even has a vague interest in Art History.”
