This program will be led by two faculty members from the College of Arts & Sciences, Dr. Matteo Benassi and Dr. Naomi Lugo, and Dr. Ioana Larco from the College of Fine Arts.
On this program, students will learn about the Italian Tuscan Renaissance through class lectures and visits to museums, churches and buildings that exhibit original art objects of frescoes, paintings, sculpture and architecture. Students will also study the poetry, music and architecture, particularly of Arezzo and Siena; and generally of Tuscany.
Arezzo
is a lovely hill town and small but very lively city in Tuscany. It is
very beautiful and less touristic than Florence and Siena yet is in
close proximity to these popular cities. Students will receive
instruction in the cooking as well as in the art of Arezzo and the
Tuscan region and learn to navigate successfully in stores, the post
office, markets and restaurants, etc.
