Local students from North and South Medford High Schools are saying ciao to Medford’s Italian sister city, Alba, through a cultural exchange program in their tour across Italy. The students have visited Rome, Turin, and of course, Alba, where student Will Brock stopped to sing at a cathedral.

The Medford Alba City Sister Exchange Association says the Medford students are currently with their Italian host families. This two-week program has included visits to Alba’s city hall and schools, a tour of the Ferrero chocolate factory, hiking, and trips to castles and cathedrals.
