This summer's art history study abroad was a success! Students spent a week in Rome and a week on the Bay of Naples in Campania with Dr. Summer Trentin. In Italy they learned about Roman art and its impact on later periods, from Medieval churches to Baroque paintings to modern cuisine. Aside from visiting museums, historic sites, and churches, students toured a vineyard on Mount Vesuvius, learned to make traditional gnocchi in Boscotrecase, explored a lemon grove in Sorrento, and debated the ethics of displaying the victims of Pompeii.
