There are still a very few places available on the weekend visit
to Parma and Modena (Wednesday 24th to Sunday 28th October).
There are plenty of wonderful things to see in these beautiful
cities. If you are at all interested it might be best to give
me a call, so I can sort out the hotel as soon as possible. |
| |
This holiday is already full. If you'd like to be on a waiting
list in case anyone drops out, please let me know.
|
| |
This week will now run from 13th to 18th February, slightly
different dates from those originally advertised. There are
still half a dozen places left. If you'd like to receive more
information, please tick the circle on the postcard.

This is a longer trip than usual, nine days from 17th to 25th
April, with four nights in Palermo, one in Agrigento and three
nights in Syracuse, travelling between these centres by coach.
We will see the best preserved Greek temples in the world, several
truly remarkable mosaics, both Roman and Norman, as well as
dozens of astonishing baroque churches, and beautiful squares
and palaces; and by driving across this fascinating and history-ridden
island we will have the chance to enjoy an unforgettable spring-time
landscape of valleys and mountains. (Learn Italy has arranged
a viewing of Visconti's spectacular film The Leopard at Chipping
Norton Theatre on 13th March; please do make a note of this
in your diary.)

| Dates are still to be
confirmed for a weekend break in this Gothic and Renaissance
city, power centre of the Gonzaga family. Their Palazzo Ducale
was in its day the largest palace in Europe, where Mantegna's
Camera degli Sposi is the most celebrated of many masterpieces.
On the other side of the city is the Palazzo Tè, its
rooms decorated with lavish and absorbing frescoes.

| Our intention is to repeat
the successful Learn Italy study week of 2005, with the use
of a small coach to help travel around the Eternal City and
come to terms with its incredible wealth of history, architecture
and art. We will visit the most famous sites, such as St Peter's,
the Sistine Chapel and the Villa Borghese; we will seek out
special works by Caravaggio and Bernini; and we will visit fascinating
early churches such as S. Maria in Trastevere, San Clemente
and Santa Prassede. The Roman city of the Forum, the Colosseum,
the Pantheon, and the Capitoline hill will become a familiar
backdrop to our various expeditions. |
