The Association of American College and University Programs in Italy, in collaboration with the Embassy of Italy and the Italian Cultural Institute, are pleased to present the second edition of “Back from Italy”, a talk and exhibit featuring stories and works by young architecture students who spent a semester in Italy.

For non-European architects in their early twenties, spending a semester in Italy is a powerful experience, which can profoundly affect the way they see the world and have a lasting influence on their work.  The Association of American Colleges and University Programs in Italy (AACUPI) puts the number of students studying architecture in Italy at about 6000.
