I can and I can't.  Italian universities are weird.  Some of the household names like Bologna and Firenze used to be places where you'd just sign up (the Italians use the term "enroll," and not "be admitted").  They let everyone in and then weed you out.  Now, at last, they use a test to determine whether someone is admittance worthy.  They copy the Americans, eventually, on the practical things.  They copy the Americans, immediately, on the negative things proffered by mass media.  I'm sure Venice would be appropriate for preservation, as would be Rome (LaSapienza), but you can look into that.  Keep in mind that architectural schools in Italy are factories - I went through the department in Torino while visiting the city and a professor I struck up a conversation with told me of the enrollment, and I about keeled over.  In the U.S., once the ENTIRE architecture program(s) hit an enrollment of 800, they are considered big and not places to get the attention one needs.  I love Italy, to go visit, but to be a student there, no thanks.  Come to the States!

Thank you!!

run Patrick run!

He's already into his 4th year of architecture in his home country, so it looks like he digs it if he wants to keep on going.

Oh well, different strokes ...

This topic is old but, I made an application at Polito by the end of March. Still no news, even they do not share any info about waitlists.. Does it generally take so long? Thnx in advance.
