Focusing on the works of Andrea Palladio in Venice and Vicenza, you’ll examine the work of those architects and artists who were part of the Renaissance in northern Italy. The artistic heritage of this area, evident in the palaces and houses along the Grand Canals and in city squares, museums and churches, is testimony of a dazzling culture, which spans a thousand years. Experience the flowering of the Renaissance first hand.

• learn about Renaissance theory through Palladio’s extraordinary architecture,
• view the frescos by Giotto in the Scrovegni Chapel in Padova,
• examine the influential works of Leon Battista Alberti and Giulio Romana.
