Florence: From Pre-Renaissance to Contemporary Architecture | Livestream Zoom
Course Description:The historic center of Florence is a UNESCO Heritage site. Founded in 59 BCE, its ascent in the world scene is connected to the painting revolution that Giotto headed and the literary achievements that Dante Alighieri created in the late Medieval period. From that time, Florence offered unique conditions for the rebirth of the classical heritage largely founded on a nascent economy of then modern banking systems. This course will cover the triangulation between its history, economy and urban form from its origins to today, touching on the milestones in architecture and the arts. |
