Urbino is a place unlike any other. In just four weeks, I have learned more about the Italian culture than I could have ever imagined. The people of Urbino always greet you with warm welcoming smiles and the small Italian town makes Urbino feel like a home away from home. The locals are always eager to help in every way they can, even with the language barrier between English and Italian. I have met so many extraordinary people on this trip with whom I’ve had the pleasure to work with and learn from. Through my experiences in the Urbino program, I have grown as a writer, photographer, video journalist, and ultimately as a person.
The early morning sun shined down on old Roman city in the central Italian province of Le Marche as patrons descended on the weekly market in the Piazza Papa Niccoló IV to buy the fresh produce, meats and cheese. As usual a line of customers waited patiently at the La Rovere truck.
