Overview

About this trip

The Minor focuses on World Religions within the context of Rome and the Mediter-ranean. Romo is the rich religious history in a cultural and religious crossroads for today's Roman Catholic Church.

Cultural awareness

Customs & norms in Italy

A little cultural fluency goes a long way — these are the habits your hosts will notice and appreciate.

Cover shoulders and knees to enter churches — this is enforced at major basilicas.
Cappuccino is a morning drink; after lunch, Italians switch to espresso.
Greet shopkeepers when entering and leaving — service is a conversation, not a transaction.
