Pictures of the John Felice Rome Center


Here are some photos that I took of the JFRC (John Felice Rome Center) where I am living and taking classes. The JFRC was founded in 1962 and was originally used as a convent. Roughly 150 students live and attend class at the JFRC. Much of the faculty also lives on campus. The John Felice Rome Center is located in Monte Mario on Via Massimi, which is a quiet wealthy residential area. There are also a few shops and restaurants in the center of town. Monte Mario is Rome's largest hill located on the Northwest side of Rome. Much of the walking that my roommates and I do off of campus is uphill- exhausting, yes but with all of the pizza, pasta and mozarella that we will be eating it can't hurt!

Ciao for now!
