Spannocchia Foundation: Farm and Guest Services Internships

Since 1985, Tenuta di Spannocchia and the Etruscan Foundation have hosted volunteers and interns who have worked on the Spannocchia farm in exchange for room and board. In the late 1990s, the Internship Programme developed a more formal syllabus that included Italian language study, field trips, and educational presentations. The Spannocchia Foundation has supported the educational elements of the Internship Programme and the Guest Services Internship since 2003.
