意大利沃尔泰拉的艺术和艺术史

学生们一起飞到 弗洛伦斯, the capital of 意大利’s Tuscany region and home to many masterpieces of Renaissance art and architecture. Travel continues by bus to the beautiful medieval city of 沃尔泰拉 where students immerse in Tuscan culture and traditions.

For the next six weeks, students are based in 沃尔泰拉, 佛罗伦萨西南有城墙的城镇, and home to the central Palazzo dei Priori with medieval frescoes, 沃尔泰拉大教堂, and the Guarnacci Etrurian Museum with a rich collection of archaeological artifacts. Students will explore the nearby remains of the Etruscan Acropolis and the Roman Theater complex with ruins of 3rd-century baths.

In addition to daily course work and local explorations, students participate in excursions to Rome, the capital city of 意大利 generally considered to be the cradle of Western civilization. 探索佛罗伦萨, home to many masterpieces of Renaissance art and architecture including the iconic Duomo, 还有学院美术馆, which displays Michelangelo’s David sculpture. Students can shop 弗洛伦斯’s world-famous leather market and cross the Ponte Vecchio. 在锡耶纳, a city distinguished by its medieval brick buildings, 学生们参观了公共宫, 哥特式市政厅, 和曼吉亚塔, a slender 14th-century tower with sweeping views from its distinctive white crown.

Students can take optional excursions to Venice, built on a grid of canals between more than 100 small islands in a lagoon in the Adriatic Sea, 和 庞贝古城, a vast archaeological site buried under ash and pumice after the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. The preserved site features excavated ruins of streets and houses to explore. 

Students have time on weekends throughout the program to explore 意大利 on their own. 遵循程序, students depart from 弗洛伦斯 – although many choose to remain on in Europe to travel on their own.
