    1) What kind of weather can I expect in Italy in August?
    Average daytime temperatures in August range from mid-70’s to high-80’s, but it can get cool in the late evenings and night. Rain at this time is infrequent.

    2) Can I arrive before or remain after the sojourn?
    If you would like to arrive at the start location in advance or remain at the end location after the sojourn has concluded, Scholarly Sojourns can help you arrange your hotel accommodation and is often able to secure attractive rates. Please indicate these preferences to us after you have registered for a particular sojourn.

    3) How much walking will be required on this sojourn?
    This sojourn is one of our physically less intensive programs. That being said, we suggest that all participants be comfortable walking up to a half mile at a time and capable of climbing up to three flights of stairs.

    4) I am a single traveler, can you help me find a roommate?
    Scholarly Sojourns will do all we can to match single travelers with a suitable roommate if they desire. But we cannot guarantee that roommates will be available. Therefore all single travelers should register as such and be prepared to pay the single traveler rate should a roommate not be identified.

    5) Is this sojourn appropriate for children?
    This sojourn is not appropriate for children. Young adults, however, will find the program quite enjoyable, especially if they have an interest in music or the performing arts.
