Today, our Taste of Umbria students had the whole day in Spoleto, so they slept in before venturing to a local coffee shop, Tebro, for breakfast. Students enjoyed rosemary and ham pizzette, mini glazed fruit tarts, strawberry cornetti, and much more, while spending time observing the locals and working on their reflective, creative projects (with photography and writing).

They then moved on down the hill, out of Old Spoleto and into New Spoleto. Though it was Sunday and the numerous boutiques along the route were closed, students found several they intend to return to on another day.
Then it was back up—via escalator, thankfully—to La Rocca and the aqueduct for some solo journaling and photographing time. Students submitted two photos each from the morning, and here are a few of their pictures:

After siesta, students met SSA founder Lorenzo Muti for a tour of some of Spoleto’s most historic locations, including the town hall, the Roman house, and the duomo. Mr. Muti shared the long history of Spoleto, beginning from pre-Roman times, and described the Romanesque, Gothic, and Renaissance styles that are prominent in the city’s architecture.
