Description
This richly illustrated lecture series examines the Eternal City, both as the center of the civilized world for millennia and as a destination for pilgrims over the centuries. In particular we investigate the importance of Rome for Dante and Petrarch, each of whom visited the city on pilgrimages of very different sorts, and for modern tourists. Meets Thursdays through April 26.
