Now that the second week is over, I wish I could extend my program and experience even more time here as the remaining week doesn’t feel like enough time. Having spent time in both Florence and Rome, I’ve enjoyed the opportunity to experience the art, history, and cultures of both cities. In particular, getting to watch a Roman Opera performance of Cinderella as well as a Vivaldi concert were two of my favorite experiences. Being able to see the talent of the individuals performing and being in beautiful venues enhanced the experience immensely. I’m so grateful to have been able to see these performances, and can’t wait to see what the last week of theprogram has in store.
