A Grand Tour of Italy with Dr. Michael Seaman
**PLEASE REGISTER HERE**
Join us this fall for a series of talks given by Dr. Michael Seaman, Associate Professor of Classical Studies and Italian Studies at DePauw University.
This lecture series will be a Grand Tour of the history, art, and architecture of Italy. It will be loosely modeled on the Grand Tour of Italy undertaken by British aristocrats in the 17th and 18th centuries when young British gentry traveled to Italy in search of the foundations of Western Civilization, observing up close the history, art, and culture of the Bel Paese (the “Beautiful Country”). In Part 1 of this 12-part series, we will focus our attention on the two northern Italian cities most famous for their history and art, Venice to Florence. The schedule is as follows:
Tuesday, October 25th – An Introduction to the Grand Tour of Italy
Tuesday, November 1st – The History of Venice, la Serenissima
Tuesday, November 8th – Medieval Art and Architecture of Venice
Thursday, November 17th – Renaissance Art and Architecture of Venice (note: this week we meet on Thursday)
Tuesday, November 22nd – The History of Florence
Tuesday, November 22nd – Early Renaissance Art of Florence
Optional background reading will be made available. Dr. Seaman earned his graduate degrees in ancient history at UCLA. He and his wife, Francesca, have been teaching at DePauw for 18 years and have taken hundreds of DePauw students and alumni with them on tours of Italy.
Please join us for any or all of these 90-minute talks. Lectures will begin at 6:00 PM in the library’s Kiwanis Room, located on the first floor, and will be followed afterward by an optional 30-minute Q & A with Dr. Seaman. Space is limited so register early. A virtual tour of Italy that highlights many of the country’s most celebrated artistic treasures, is the next best thing to touring Italy in person.
