WEBINAR RECORDING | “Italy’s Great Monuments: The Splendors of Venice”
Presented by Dr. Rocky Ruggiero

Venice was the longest-lasting Republic in history. The city’s privileged position as cultural and economic bridge between the Eastern and Western Christian world contribute to the uniqueness of Venice. The art and architecture in Venice clearly display this combination of Islamic, Byzantine, and Classical influences, while Venetian painting was perhaps the only school to rival that of Florence and Rome. This free webinar will examine the buildings and paintings of Venice, and also the history of perhaps the most singular city in the world.

The webinar recording consists of a 45-minute lecture.
