Course of the history of Florence
-
The History of Florence is a wonderful course that helps understand the Renaissance and its roots in the city of Florence. Istituto Galilei has a great teacher, Nicola, who is able to discover this topic in a very enthusiastic, personable and knowledgeable manner and in a short amount of time. I learned about places, artists, their ideas and was able to see the rich connection between these groups. I am no longer a tourist in Florence, as my view of this city changed completely by doing this course. Now I feel much more connected to this great story.
The course group was small and everyone was able to interact and ask questions. Highly recommended!
