At the Mario Praz Museum today, and watched a storm clear on the walk home. Mario Praz was a great reader of decadent literature, but he also wrote a “Philosophy of Furniture” about the relationship between a home’s decor and its owner, and he collected bizarre, fascinating 18th/19th c. objects, like the wax sculptures and shown here. #romeinstituteofliberalarts #rome #museomariopraz #romeintherain #thehouseoflife

Animals seen near the Pantheon today. A giraffe, an elephant, ancient and renaissance dolphins, and some local birds who came to take it all in. They just cleaned and restored the fountain by Giacomo Della Porta in front of the Pantheon last week, and again you can see the blue veined marble statues (recalling water) and the black Egyptian marble basin. The birds dig it. #romeinstituteofliberalarts #rome #animalsinrome

Painting and Poetry exhibition opening at the Galleria Borghese last night. A series of artful poems about paintings by the 17th century poet Giambattista Marino (from his collection “The Gallery”) are paired with their subjects. An exhibition for a reflection on art itself. #romeinstituteofliberalarts #rome #galleriaborghese #paintingandpoetry

Santa Maria Sopra Minerva is the only gothic church in Rome. This gothic church is a kind of jewelry box for displaying art of later periods. It is a Dominican church, hence the large chapel dedicated to Thomas Aquinas with paintings by Filipino Lippi. The chapel has a sotto-in-su view of the Virgin and a chorus of angels, relatively novel at the time. (I am puzzled by the figure labeled “Manicheus”…his face is sometimes taken to be Lorenzo dei Medici, but also looks a lot like Dante…) Also here is Michelangelo’s sculpture of the risen Christ and Bernini’s monument to Maria Raggi. #romeinstituteofliberalarts #santamariasopraminerva #michelangelo #aquinas

Student life

Small practical details can make the difference during your time in Rome. We have thought about them all. Getting informed about them will help you plan ahead.

Students will be accommodated in a student house located in a quaint and trendy residential neighborhood right next to the historic center, making possible daily exploration of all the historic areas of Rome. Classrooms are at walking distance from students' housing.
