Italy, in the South of Europe, is home to the greatest number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the world and so you will be spoilt for choice when it comes to things to do while on placement besides studying or working! Most of Italy has hot, dry summers, with July being the hottest month of the year. Autumns are generally rainy and winters are unsurprisingly colder in the North and milder in the South.
