Venice was the longest lasting Republic in history. The city’s privileged position as cultural and economic bridge between the Eastern and Western Christian worlds contributed to its uniqueness. The art and architecture of Venice clearly displays a combination of Islamic, Byzantine, and classical influences. Artists such as Bellini, Giorgione, Titian, and Tintoretto made Venetian painting perhaps the only school to rival that of the central Italian Renaissance. This travel program will not only examine the art and architecture of Venice, but also the history, culinary and enological traditions of perhaps the most singular city in the world.
