Imagine studying abroad in Italy. Then imagine studying abroad based in the beautiful town of Sansepolcro, birthplace of the painter Piero della Francesca (c. 1416–92). And, finally, imagine sitting on a bench near a sunny piazzo on a day trip to Arezzo before touring the magnificent San Francesco (13th and 14th century) with its unique great truss-roofed nave, making it one of the most majestic examples of gothic monastic architecture in Tuscany.
