The Living Classroom of Notre Dame Rome

From its world-class location in the Eternal City at the heart of global Catholicism, Notre Dame Rome offers students an unparalleled opportunity to experience and learn from more than two millennia of history, art, architecture, and culture. Surrounded by the ancient ruins of the Roman Empire and the sacred sites of the Vatican, Notre Dame students are cultivating new perspectives, deepening their faith, and discovering their true calling.

In this episode of For Good, we continue our global journey with a visit to Notre Dame’s Villa on the Celio for conversations with Silvia Dall’Olio, director of Notre Dame Rome, and junior Margarita Miyares. Together, Silvia and Margarita share how the Rome program has become a dynamic hub of both scholarly and experiential learning—a living classroom that bridges the classical and the contemporary worlds.

Join us to see why Notre Dame Rome is more than just a study-abroad program—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience that can only be found at Our Lady’s University.

New episodes of For Good: Stories from Notre Dame drop on select weekdays at giving.nd.edu/stories and the ND Loyal YouTube channel. You can also listen to the podcast on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

A sincere thank you to the Notre Dame Family for making stories like these possible! It’s because of you that Notre Dame is such a powerful force for good in the world.
