      This three-week immersion program in one of Tuscany’s oldest and artistically rich capitals, Siena, offers culturally curious participants a deep dive exploration of the home of one of the oldest universities in the world, the University of Siena (founded in 1240) and the seat of one of the world’s most decorative and elaborately stylized schools of art, the 13th to 15th century’s School of Siena. The city is so closely associated with art that the paint hue, sienna (a deep, oxblood red-brown, cleaved from local earth), is virtually synonymous with the city from whence it originally came.
