Passioni Documenting Authentic Italian Life

Cagli is a small Italian town nestled on the eastern slopes the Apennine Mountains of the Marche region. For the past four years, Communication students from six American colleges -- including Loyola College in Maryland, Gonzaga University, and Creighton University -- have traveled to this rural town to live, work, and experience a taste of traditional Italian life. Students are taught the skills they need to ultimately create a web documentary of their time in Cagli; interviewing residents, writing a feature-length article, taking photographs, and designing a website. Passioni is a collection of articles, each one telling an individual or group's story of Cagli and reflecting the rich history and culture of this special town.
