Latin Italy Spring Break 2024 Experience

Published on 04/10/2024

Latin Spring Break 2024 Experience in Italy

Over Easter, 23 Mercy Latin students and families embarked on a 12-day trip through Italy! Students learned about the Roman Empire's reach and the influence of the Latin language. Highlights included:

  • praying in St. Peter's Basilica and the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore
  • studying Michelangelo's David sculpture in Florence
  • touring a balsamic vinegar farm and tasting authentic balsamic
  • learning how to make parmigiano reggiano cheese
  • strolling through the colonnaded streets of Turin and Bologna
  • eating focaccia on the beaches of Cinque Terre
  • attending a Roman cooking class, learning how to make tortellini, and enjoying the fruits of our labor
  • riding bicycles on the walled town of Lucca
  • visiting the Colosseum and Roman Forum

It was a fun, educational, and life-changing experience for all who traveled! You can view more photos from the trip here. For further information about Mercy's Latin program and how you can get involved, please contact Mrs. Lauren Marquard.
