In general , I think it was a great week and there is currently lots to do on the island . I think it's a great place to hold a language programme , and there are defenitely lots of other activities that could be arranged in conjunction !
Legend has it that the city of Viterbo was founded by Hercules , but it is in fact of Etruscan origin , and dates back to the 5th Century BC . Today , it is characterised by its unparalleled Gothic architecture , with magnificent twelfth-century churches and palaces made from local volcanic stone .

I have had two very enjoyable experiences with my ' Italian family ' in Viterbo . I spent two weeks with Alessandra and her family in January 2007 , and another week in April 2008 . During my first visit , as well as being immersed in the family and culture , I spent the mornings in the kitchen with Nonna , learning the art of simple , but extremely tasty , regional cooking .
