WEBINAR RECORDING | “Italian Architecture Through the Ages: Romanesque Architecture in Tuscany”
Presented by Dr. Rocky Ruggiero

Understanding Italian architecture is understanding Western Civilization. No country has produced such an extraordinary number of iconic architectural monuments over a period of two millennia as has Italy. Dr. Rocky will explore three of medieval Europe’s most celebrated Romanesque churches. Consecrated in 1018 A.D., San Miniato al Monte, in Florence, houses an eclectic mix of artistic styles within its distinctly mysterious and mystical atmosphere. Florence’s Baptistry has instead long been the heart of Florentine society and tradition. Pisa’s majestic marble cathedral and its elegant, albeit crooked, tower are among the greatest architectural achievements of the Middle Ages.

The webinar recording consists of a 45 minute lecture.
