Programme Structure

The curriculum is designed to foster your critical and analytical skills through a multi-faceted approach:

History & Geopolitics: Uncover the political, social, and religious dynamics that have shaped Italy’s function as a crossroads of civilizations.
Literature & Digital Humanities: Study how the Mediterranean has been imagined and narrated-from canonical texts to travel literature-while using modern digital tools for textual analysis.
Anthropology & the Environment: Engage with pressing global challenges, including migration, deindustrialization, and overtourism, while exploring the relationship between communities and their environment.
Archaeology of the Sea: Discover symbols and ideas that traveled across the waves, viewing the sea not as a barrier, but as a shared, anthropized space of connection.

The primary goal is to provide students with a thorough understanding of Italian identity by highlighting its historical, cultural, and linguistic connections with other Mediterranean countries. Moving beyond the borders of the peninsula, the programme fosters critical and analytical skills regarding the Mediterranean, its history and literature, and its geopolitical and intercultural dynamics.
