Rome Campus

Trinity's Rome Campus is located on Aventine Hill in Rome, Italy. This is the center for Trinity's study away program in Rome established in 1970 by Michael Campo. Much of the funding for its development came from the Cesare Barbieri Endowment for Italian Culture. The campus itself contains classrooms, housing, courtyards, a dining hall, a library, as well access to a local gym and swimming pool. The program is open to both Trinity students and students from other American university's, and typically takes place over one semester.

Campo wanted students to be academically challenged while being fully immersed in Italian culture. The Rome location was ultimately picked over otherItalian cities like Florence because Campo believed the city lent itself more towards immersion, with less foreign tourists and easier assimilation. Courses offered focus on the humanities and social sciences, and are often taught by Trinity professors.
