Madelym (or Maddie) Leal is an international guest student at the University of Verona, Italy. She’s from Venezuela but she studies Arts and Humanities at the University of Calgary, Canada.

She chose Verona University for its courses and for the options it offered her. But Maddie has something to say about the city of Verona

I think Verona is everything you would expect from an Italian city: it has arts, history…  It is a city with a lot of character. I’ve been loving living here.

You can listen to her story in this video. The stories of other PhD students and researchers coming to the University of Verona are available here and on Youtube .
