- Learn how historical turning points, such as changes in Florence and the rise of reform movements, influenced artists and their work.
- Explore Assisi, Rome, Naples, and other Italian centers as living stages for art, faith, and daily life.
- Get a grounded sense of how place, history, and human feeling intertwine in classic and medieval art.
