I'm looking for reputable, quality summer programs that include Italian Language immersion as well as opportunities to tour and explore. There are so many out there--hard to know which are the best ones.
Where will you be in Italy? I'm taking a 2 week course this summer in Venice at Istituto Venezia, based on recommendations in this forum.

Do you remember where you found the recommendations? I will be there in July.

If Lucca interests you as a location, check out the Lucca Italian School. https://www.luccaitalianschool.com/
I have taken their courses three times, and each time was very immersive, interesting, and fun. They have many outside the classroom experiences also.
Have a look at this school in Assisi - https://aliassisi.it/en/ . I stopped by to have a chat with them on my last visit there, and I was quite impressed.
