Duquesne University Italian Campus in Rome, Italy. The Fall 2004 semester saw the inauguration of our new campus, a more permanent home in the eternal city.

Welcome to the Duquesne University Italian Campus, in cooperation with the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth. The history of the Italian Campus program begins with the Spring 2001 semester, where the Italian Campus was housed at the Villa Santa Cecilia in the suburb of Vitinia. During these past years, the Italian Campus program has grown into an important academic and life expanding study abroad program for students of Duquesne University's home campus in Pittsburgh, PA. Rome is truly the eternal city! From the omnipresent ruins of the powerful Rome that set the standard for much of the world in ancient days, to the emblems such as the Vatican, that continue to set standards in the 21st century. To live in Rome is to live its history and the story of a progressive people. Although you will have plenty of time for personal travel to other places in Italy and Europe while here, a student of Duquesne University Italian campus soon calls home, the eternal city of Rome

We welcome you to Rome and to the Italian Campus!

Fall Break in Kraków, Poland 🇵🇱✨

For many of our students, Fall Break began with an unforgettable trip to Kraków! From exploring the city’s historic Old Town and Jewish Quarter to discovering the remarkable Wieliczka Salt Mine and sampling traditional Polish cuisine, students experienced the rich culture and history of Poland. 🏛️🥟

A particularly meaningful part of the weekend was visiting Auschwitz-Birkenau, where students participated in a memorial ceremony honoring the victims of the Holocaust. This solemn and deeply moving experience offered an important opportunity for reflection, remembrance, and learning.

A weekend of cultural discovery, historical reflection, and meaningful experiences that will stay with our students as they continue their travels for the remainder of the fall break. ❤️🇵🇱

We were SO excited to welcome 41 students from the IIS Einstein–Bachelet schools to campus today! 🇮🇹🇺🇸

Students partnered up for an intercultural interview, then spent the morning getting to know one another through games, conversation, and lots of laughs. We played American football 🏈 soccer ⚽, and co****le, and learned how to play the Italian card games Scopa and Briscola 🃏, and so much more!

It was such a fun celebration of friendship, culture, and connection. 💙 We feel incredibly lucky to have such wonderful neighbors—and now, so many new friends—right here near campus! 🥰🌍 Grazie ragazzi!
