The 12th-century city of Siena, Italy, comprises 17 contrade, or neighborhoods, each with its own church, museum, horse-racing team, and loyal community members who consider themselves family.
One of those contrade, Capitana dell'Onda (Onda), has been home to »Ê¹Ú²©²ÊÍøַ’s study abroad programs in Siena for more than 40 years. During that time, the College has built such strong academic and personal relationships with the neighborhood that »Ê¹Ú²©²ÊÍøÖ· is about to be written into its official history.
