Institute location

The Institute is located in the central town square of Orvieto facing the Cathedral, a 14th century church considered to be one of Italy's greatest artistic treasures.

The Institute is situated in a former hospital, built in the 14th century, remodeled in the 19th century, and converted to an institute and headquarters for the Orvieto Civic Foundation in 2001-2002. There are several fully furnished classrooms, each with space for 20 to 50 students. A computer lab with high speed internet access is located 10 minutes walk from the Institute.

The beautiful three story building has a central block and two flanking wings, enfolding a spacious, private gated garden.

The Istituto is located near the train station from where hourly trains reach Rome in just 45 minutes. The building adjoins a magnificent church with a façade designed by Valadier, Napoleon's renowned architect. Across the square is the famous Gothic cathedral with frescoes by Luca Signorelli.
