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.

…Community Pitch-In: Intentional Food
Are you the type of person who wants to try new recipes? Do you plan some meals with meticulous care? Choosing local ingredients? Do you choose a specific diet for any reason, such as gluten-free, dairy-free, or meat-free?
We have the perfect event for you!
We are hosting an Intentional Food Pitch-In! Intentional eating has become a very popular idea in recent years. Many are trying vegan diets and gluten free diets as a way to mindfully eat food that really helps their body feel good. We want to celebrate that with you!
In the past, our pitch-ins have been vegan and vegetarian-focused. While we hope for many of those dishes to return, we’d like to include other intentional foods. We look forward to trying locally-sourced meats, organic-only ingredients, or even specialty ingredients. If you have spent the pandemic creating a special sourdough starter to make bread, this is the place to show it off!
Join the community for an Intentional Potluck on the Second Thursday of every month from May through October! Dinner starts at 6 p.m. sharp with a half-hour after reserved for clean-up. Can’t bring a dish? No worries! Grab a plate and help with the after-dinner clean-up. …
