From the moment Ms. Markel, a native Alabamian whose Southern hospitality has not diminished, met my Alitalia train from the Rome airport in Florence on a drizzly Sunday morning, I sensed I had made the right choice.

Minutes later, as we drove through olive groves and vineyards to the Pincitores’ Fattoria degli Usignoli (Farm of the Nightingales),
that conviction strengthened.

When I sat down to lunch with my new classmates in the converted wine cellar that serves as the dining room, I knew I was home.
