Sam Gaglio
My name is Sam Gaglio, and I am a Ph.D student of Italian Studies at the University of Texas at Austin. During my undergraduate career, I spent four months in Ferrara as a CIEE student myself, so I'm honored to return this summer as a Program Leader. I'm greatly looking forward to sharing the charm of this city with all of the high school students this June!
