    Fall 2018 - Florentine Villas ARTH-UA 9308 or ITAL-UA 9404 9656 Tuesdays, 9:00-11:45 a.m. Villa La Pietra, Aula Le Vedute Class Description: This course examines the Florentine villa, attempting to define this specific architectural typology and identify the unique contributions to its history made in and around Florence, primarily in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Emerging from the Middle Ages, the villas of the Florentine area are among the most powerful embodiments of the “rebirth” of classical antiquity that defines the spirit of the Renaissance. The villa is here defined in accordance with its meaning both in antiquity and throughout the early modern period as a domestic structure integrated with its surrounding agricultural estate. Phenomena to be explored include: the evolution of the forms of the patronal residence, from the early Renaissance castle-villas to the classicizing villas of the later fifteenth- and early sixteenth-centuries; the emergence of the formal garden and the identification of some of its most characteristic elements; the rapport between the villa and its urban cousin, the palace. Special emphasis is given to the villas and gardens of the Medici and to the study of Villa La Pietra itself.

The streets, piazzas and roof-top terraces shimmer with activity and a party atmosphere prevails.

And the Italians head to the beach… We hope you find a place to keep cool and enjoy the entertainment, with best wishes from SUZANNE, CORSO, BEI, LESLIE, VANNI, ANNA PIA, RAFFAELLA, AND MARISA.

They discussed the Food Studies course, which connects to an overall goal to strive for sustainability. Additionally, they discussed the initiative to develop Childhood Psychology courses in Florence, where a conference about this topic was recently held with notable student participation. Representatives from Global Programs discussed feedback from students that many do not study away due to cost. Several current and possible options for funding study away for students were discussed. This led to a discussion on student evaluations overall, and how their insights should be further leveraged to recruit students and give them the best experience while studying away.
