AR 1020: Visits to numerous churches, (the Santissima Annunziata, the Ospedale degli Innocenti, the Duomo, Santa Maria Novella, etc.), and museums (the Bargello, the Accademia) as well as visits to the town hall and major palaces, introduce students to the extraordinary number of artistic treasures contained in this small city.
Led by Prof. Jonathan Shimony

IL 1010: Discover Pisa, its leaning tower and national museum. Proceed by train to Florence to see the Cathedral of Santa Maria Novella, Giotto’s Campanile, the Baptistery, Dante’s house, and the Uffizi.
