Honors Passport E-bike Italy 🚴🇮🇹✨

After days of riding across Italy’s landscapes, villages, and historic cities, the group has finally arrived in Rome.

Before reaching the city, students stopped at the MUSAM - Italian Air Force Historical Museum in Bracciano, adding one last historical and cultural experience to an unforgettable journey across Italy.

The first week of the IMACC Global Immersion Program in Rome wrapped up with workshops and company visits that brought accounting and business strategy into the real world.

From innovation and venture capital at Zest, to sustainability reporting at EY, entrepreneurial growth at SQUP, and internationalization at Tenimenti Leone, students explored how global business decisions take shape across different industries.

But they didn’t just observe—they worked, discussed, and connected classroom concepts to real business challenges.

A huge thank you to our hosts, faculty, and students for an inspiring week in Rome 🇮🇹
Next stop: Milan!

A rainy day full of discovery 🌧️🌿

Students from the Horticulture program, led by Dr. Curt R. Rom, spent the day exploring two very different but equally fascinating sides of Italy’s landscape culture.

At the Centro Agroalimentare Roma (C.A.R.), students learned how one of the largest agro-food hubs in Central and Southern Italy operates, discovering the systems behind food distribution and agricultural commerce.

In the afternoon, the group visited the stunning gardens of Villa d’Este, where fountains, terraces, and Renaissance landscape design brought horticulture to life in one of Italy’s most iconic historic settings.

Even with the rain, the experience was immersive, inspiring—and we even found a little sunshine at the end ☀️

Where architecture meets art ✨

At the UARK Rome Program Center, students took part in an experimental workshop reimagining the open spaces of Città Verde through the design of urban “thrones,” inspired by the theme “wings and roots.”

Guided by their faculty Francesca Riccardo and Vanessa Mingozzi, with contributions from Davide Vitali and artistic direction by Marko Guglielmi Reimmortal, students transformed ideas into powerful design concepts.

Six projects have been selected for realization and will be permanently installed in the neighborhood—bringing creativity, sustainability, and community together 🌱

👉 Swipe to discover the students’ projects.

👏 Congratulations to all our students, and especially to the selected teams!

Exploring these extraordinary landscapes is a reminder of why protecting our planet matters—so that places like these can continue to inspire future generations.
