Genoa: A Door to Italy
8-13 March 2010
Genoa is a busy, bustling, exciting city, divided between roaring traffic in the centre, several noble streets lined with seventeenth- and eighteenth-century palaces, peaceful upper suburbs of turn-the-century apartment blocks, and the port with the huge medieval quarter behind it, once a notorious no-go area, but now cleaned up and fascinating to wander around. <more...>
 
Study Week in Florence: Architecture and Frescoes in Florence
12-18 April, 2010
This will be the sixth Learn Italy study holiday in Florence. Usually visitors to this city concentrate on the easel paintings and sculpture for which its galleries are justly famous - and which are familiar to anyone who knows the city at all, or indeed anyone interested in the history of art. <more...>
 
Study visit to Padua
7-10 October 2010
The main purpose of this short visit to Padua will be to see Giotto's masterpiece, the Scrovegni Chapel. Normally visitors are restricted to a fifteen-minute glimpse of these magnificent frescoes, and even this must be booked in advance. On former Learn Italy visits two special half-hour private visits have been arranged for the group, and it is hoped that this special booking can be achieved again.<more...>
 
Study week on Piero della Francesca: Arezzo, Sansepolcro and Urbino
18-24 October 2010
Though our focus will be on Piero, there are many other things to enjoy in the attractive medieval towns where his works are to be found. Arezzo has an interesting cathedral with a Piero fresco of Mary Magdalen. Also worth visiting there, is the beautiful church of Santa Maria, which behind its fantastical Romanesque façade houses an exquisite altarpiece by the Sienese artist Pietro Lorenzetti. <more...>
