Student Photo Gallery: Italy

From the Roman architecture of the Colosseum to Michaelangelo’s paintings in the Sistine Chapel, Italy is bursting with incredible sites that continually speak to its importance in the history of Europe. Enduring a mid-summer heat wave, SAS students traveled the breadth of this incredible country, documenting their journey as they went.
