Let me introduce you to the KEY PLAYERS of this adventure...
This is your trusty author, your unreliable narrator, and your leading lady...
Oh look, it's ME!
Il Duomo plays a crucial role in my Florentine life. He guides me home and seems to poke his little head out in the most unexpected of situations. Without him, I would be lost (seriously). Though he is constantly swarmed by a disgusting amount of tourists, he and I have something special that no obnoxious American tour group can take away.
The place where the MAGIC happens.....
In this humble (ha!) little building, I take Italian and 'Two Worlds: Islam and Christianity in the Mediterranean'.
My Renaissance Apprenticeship class is taught in the art studio just to the left of Villa Ulivi. This class is as cool as it sounds: we are learning the 'trade' just as an apprentice would have during the Renaissance.
My Medici Patronage class is taught on site depending on what we are learning about that week. Thus far, we've visited San Lorenzo, San Marco, and the Palazzo Medici.
And finally, a minor character....
La Pietra is the main villa of the campus. It has an incredible art collection and beautiful gardens. For a lil' more info, wikipedia can tell you about it.
That's all I've got for now....
