Combining learning with curiosity and dynamism is simple when visiting the numerous museums and cultural spaces offering children permanent exhibitions, activities and guided tours, including the Museum of Civilizations, which contains a large archaeological and ethnographic collection, the Bioparco, zoological garden in Villa Borghese, Technotown, dedicated to new technologies and the Civic Museum of Zoology, a center of scientific culture that preserves, studies and shows animal biodiversity.

GREEN AREAS
Rome is also the “greenest” city in Europe, where a walk in the parks and historic villas turns into an educational-artistic path, among fountains, sculptures, hunting lodges, as in the Italian gardens of the magnificent Villa Borghese, a concentration of landscape and artistic richness, or in the English style of the charming Villa Torlonia, home to the delightful Casina delle Civette, or in Villa Pamphili, the largest park in Rome.

MULTIMEDIA EXPERIENCES
The visit to the historical-artistic places can be further enriched by different experiences that aim to involve and amaze the students, leaving a magnificent and indelible memory that will accompany them throughout the training period.
Multimedia shows such as Journey into the Forums, accurate reconstruction of places, with special effects, Welcome to Rome, a tale about 2700 years of Rome's history, the Ara as it was, multisensorial visit to the Ara Pacis, Last Judgment, a show where art and technology tell the birth of the Sistine Chapel, and Caracalla Progetto 3D, a reconstruction with virtual reality of the Roman Baths in 216 AD.
