Ciao a tutti! My name is Mac Principe, and I am a Biochemistry and Italian Transcultural\u00a0 Studies double major. My experience studying Italian has been one of the most rewarding at the\u00a0 University of Arkansas. I have been taking Italian every semester since my first. This past\u00a0 summer, I had an exciting opportunity to study abroad at the University of Arkansas Rome\u00a0 Center, and it was a trip I will never forget. I stayed almost three months, from mid-May to early\u00a0 August, in Rome. I traveled all over the nation during this time, including cities such as Turin,\u00a0 Florence, Venice, Bologna, Naples, and many others.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

In Italy, multiple amazing moments and museums stand out to me. I attended a soccer\u00a0 game between AS Roma and AC Milan at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. This was an\u00a0 unbelievable experience as the stadium was packed with 75,000 Roma fans all singing and\u00a0 chanting together as Roma beat Milan 3-1 that night. I also attended a Ghali concert in Rome which was an equally unforgettable night with the crowd singing every lyric. Two standout\u00a0 museums were the Galleria Borghese in Rome and the famous Uffizi Museum in Florence. These\u00a0 two museums were so large that I could\u2019ve spent an entire day in each. I was also astounded by\u00a0 the number of beautiful paintings and sculptures contained in one place. Studying Italian has\u00a0 changed the course of my life for the better, and I can\u2019t wait to see where it will take me next.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>
