Bologna, which houses the oldest university in the world in continuous operation (Universita di Bologna, established in 1088) and is distinguished for its creativity, culture, and stunning architecture. This program is the sole program at UT dedicated to the pursuit of linguistic proficiency in Italian, and provides students with the opportunity to engage with university students and locals alike in the 7th largest Italian city by population.
