Nel Mezzo · Summer Immersion 2027, Rome and the countryside, August 1–15

Nel Mezzo runs small immersion programs in Italy for teachers, students, and general admirers of the humanities.

Put simply, the mission of Nel Mezzo is to facilitate true and meaningful headway in each participant’s journey towards mastery of the language. We like to practice “slow travel,” that is, taking a step back from the fast-paced tourism that has overwhelmed Europe, and taking moments to marinate in a place. Through real engagement with a place’s linguistic, literary, and cultural aspects, one can experience that place’s culture more deeply.
