The 6-credit lecture program (open also to Honors students) provides an opportunity to learn about the beneficial and protective effects of the Mediterranean Diet against chronic diseases (ex: cancer, obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, etc.) and is led by Dr. Donato Romagnolo. On-site activities in Italy include presentations and cooking classes with local chefs; nutritional assessment of Mediterranean diet and recipes; guided tours to agricultural and food production shops and laboratories; and tours of historic sites. Cooking classes will be held in a 15th century palace in historic downtown Verona, the setting of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. More details can be found on the program website.
