Samantha D'Angelo '21

Samantha D'Angelo ’21 has been awarded a Coccia Foundation Scholarship for study in Italy. She is a physics major who plans to pursue her passions for Italian language and culture by studying in Taormina, Sicily, through the API Babilonia Institute Program this fall (2019).

D’Angelo started exploring her Italian roots during her first semester at Hamilton with a course called Italian Renaissance Civilization and Culture – a course that sparked her curiosity for learning the language and more about the culture. She has been an active member of the Italian Club on campus, Gli Hamiltoniani Amici della Cultura Italiana.
