Italian Destinations in the Montepulciano Program
For more than 16 years, Greg Jordan served in an executive capacity with King University, a post-secondary institution established in 1867. While leading the school as CEO and president, Greg Jordan also took part in the conceptualization of the school’s Montepulciano program, which allows students to study abroad with King University staff in Italy. While participating in the Montepulciano program, students will experience the culture and history of several well-known Italian cities, including the following. Florence: Home to many historic cathedrals, including the Il Duomo di Firenze, Florence presents visitors with the opportunity to see many examples of classic architecture, as well as the chance to experience authentic Florentine-style food. Venice: Tourists and locals alike navigate this city, built on top of 180 islands, via a network of beautiful canals and bridges. Skilled oarsmen known as gondoliers are available to ferry Venice visitors to famous sites, such as Saint Mark’s Basilica and the Piazza San Marco. Rome: This ancient Italian capital is known for famous structures like the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain, and the Pantheon. Visitors often tour the city via bicycle, or enjoy scoops of fresh gelato before spending an afternoon exploring one of the city’s many museums.
