This small guide wants to be a little more complete than the usual "pre material" sent by mail; we just tried to think about the common questions that a newcomer like you would have about Rome and Italy in general; some paragraphs will not be essential, but some others may contain essential information that will, in our hope, give you a useful overview of this new environment in which you will spend at least 2 weeks.

Some paragraphs are very important, other paragraphs will tell you about the habits of our country. By living with us you will understand the differences that exist between the various European cultures and sometimes maybe you'll be surprised how Italians think or act differently than other populations, while some other times you'll discover how close we are; in all those case, just open your mind.

The whole group here longly prepared this course and we'll do our best to make it working in the better way; on the other hand your co-operation will be essential; attending a BEST event means giving capital importance both to the didactic and the social part. This means that your good mood and your enthusiasm will be the capital component to fulfil one of the main objectives of the course: TO HAVE FUN!

The whole group of Rome wishes you a very very warm WELCOME TO ROME!
