During this travel seminar, funded by the West Bay View Foundation, students were able to focus on the history, art, and architecture of ancient and Renaissance Rome, visiting important sites such as the Campidoglio, the Pantheon, and the Forum Romanum. Rome has been continuously inhabited for more than three millennia, and its urban fabric both reveals and conceals a unique history of occupation, destruction, reconstruction, revival, and excavation. Each student gave a short field presentation surrounding a selected monument and engaged in discussions about city's most important and lasting contributions to the history of art and architecture.
