ora et labora
Participating in the semester-long program will put you in direct contact with the deep roots of the College that go back to the sixth century. Orvieto has a number of Benedictine-founded churches and overlooks a former monastery established by one of his monks shortly after Saint Benedict's death. In Subiaco you will visit the cave where Saint Benedict prayed for 3 years before organizing 12 monasteries; one of which, Santa Scolastica, boasts one of the oldest libraries in the world. The Benedictines have been committed to humanistic education from their beginnings. You will also visit Montecassino where Saint Benedict wrote his Rule- the ultimate motherhouse of Saint Anselm Abbey.
nunc est bibendum
One of the best things about being in Orvieto, besides the friendly people, is the food and wine. Italian cuisine, wine and coffee are amazing. Orvieto was one of the founding members of the Slow City movement and is a Slow Food city. Situated in the heart of Italy, Orvieto is surrounded by agriculture. Everywhere you go around Orvieto you see wheat fields, dairies, wineries, olive groves, as well as sheep across the landscape. The food in the restaurants and taverns is fresh. The wine production has grown beyond the famous Orvieto Classico to great reds. You can have an entire meal that was sourced within 25 miles of the city. Our workshops provide a unique culinary experience to see and sample local production.
