Pisa and the Leaning Tower 03/05/13
Ciao, This past weekend many of us took a trip to Florence, Italy as well as Pisa. These are both a must do while over in Italy; the architecture is amazing in both cities and there is so much history, you could lose yourself for days. Pisa is a small city on the west coast […]

Different Country, Different Culture 02/27/13
I can’t even begin to wrap my head around the fact that I am almost half way done with my study abroad experience. There are so many things that I have experienced and seen, and there is still so much more to explore. This past weekend, I went to Interlaken, Switzerland and it was one […]

Feeling AND Being on Top of the World 02/06/13
This week was probably one of the most fast paced weeks since I have been studying here at Cimba. It’s so fascinating that in such a small town like Paderno Del Grappa, there are many surrounding towns that make this part of the Veneto region so beautiful. This week I visited a beautiful town called […]

All in a days work 01/28/13
Ciao, Back again here to tell everyone about the great experience I had in the little town of Crespano, just a brisk walk from the Paderno campus. Crespano is just fifteen minutes west of campus on a well-established road, so there are sidewalks that we Americans are used to and not the single file walking […]

Ciao, introduction for a new point of view 01/21/13
Ciao, Contrary to popular believe and some do’s and don’ts of Italy websites saying ciao to everyone is not frowned upon or disrespectful. So the first thing I have learned since being here is to be nice and respectful to every non-American you meet and say ciao. My name is Christopher Patton I am a […]

A Great Ball of Fire 11/19/12
Salve! Sunday, I attended my first European futbol match. I figured with only two weeks left, it was something that definitely needed to be checked off my cultural to-do list. I have never been a huge soccer fan, so I was definitely there to focus on experiencing the culture of the game. The game was […]

Vino Rosso o Vino Bianco? 11/19/12
Wine is a big part of the Italian culture, as most people know, but I had no clue how in depth the wine world really is. Fortunately, I got to experience this firsthand with two activities I did this past week—a vineyard tour and a wine seminar. Last Sunday a group of us visited local […]

A True Italian Experience 10/26/12
Salve! So this week I got to do something really neat, which was to go eat with an Italian family. I’m not going to lie, I was a little nervous but I had another CIMBA student Tanner by my side. We were assigned to go with this kid named Mattia and all we were told […]
