The Virginia Law Foundation invites you and your guest(s) to join our private delegation in Sicily. Trip organizers expect this trip to reach capacity so register today in order to guarantee your spot!
The largest Mediterranean island, Sicily presents a deep historical and cultural relevance to mainland Italy and is home to splendid sites such as temples, chapels, mosaics and an active volcano. Our immersive program will engage with local attorneys, scholars, and experts offering poignant commentary on Italian and EU legal and political systems, art, history, architecture, and religion; all while highlighting the welcoming communities and iconic cuisine!
Choose between 4, 7 or 8 night program options.
Please note that this program will require high-intensity walking on uneven and sometimes hilly cobblestone streets and stairs where an elevator may not be available. Participants must be able to walk unassisted.
