After a year of hosting Nicolo as our exchange student in Chico, California... we have come to his country! Nick will be our host and guide as we get to know his homeland, just as he got to know ours.

Don't forget to scroll down to the last entry that you have read, then scroll UP as you read the entries in chronological order. Hope you are enjoying the Italy Blog!


While the inside of the classrooms have little distraction, the outside view could carry you into an all morning daydream.
"Bruce, can you build me one of these platforms for my classroom?"
The walls of the rooms are very plain, no computers or eithernet (except the two small computer labs) and hardly an electrical outlet.Nick explains that the school day is from 8-1:00. The teachers of the various subjects rotate, but the students stay in the same room the entire time unless they are granted permission to use the restrooms between periods. Nicolo is in the department of math and sciences, while Sabastiano is in the arts and literature.
The hallways are newly painted with no graffiti. Sabastiano and Nicolo show us their classrooms.
The stairwells at the school have beautiful murals inside.
