Lynn Aldo Writes Fiction in Italy

2017 Aug 23

Fourteen students from Eastern Connecticut State University spent a month this summer in Florence, Italy, in a global field course called "Creative Writing Abroad." The region of Tuscany's rich culture and picturesque landscapes inspired students' literary senses as they wrote, critiqued and edited original works of fiction.

Among the students was Lynn Aldo '17 of Lebanon, who majors in General Studies.

Led by English Professor Christopher Torockio, the students gathered for writing workshops at SACI-Studio Arts College International (in Florence)-and immersed themselves in Italian culture as they visited the famed cities of Fiesole, Siena, San Gimignano, Lucca and Pisa.
