2010 Arezzo Program—August 29 - November 24
The Eternal City and the
Grand Tour in Southern Italy
The program opens with four days in Rome and Ostia together with Prof. Renato Perucchio studying Roman Engineering. This is followed by a magnificent grand tour of some of most spectacular archeological sites of Roman Southern Italy. In Rome, we focus our attention on the public buildings erected by the Emperors: basilicas, temples, baths, theaters, and the amphitheater (the Colosseum). In Ostia, Pompeii, Herculaneum, Stabiae,and Baiae, moving around private houses and public spaces, visiting temples, baths, theaters, and palaestras we experience the life of a Roman city while carefully exploring its technology. Throughout our visits, we compare aspects of technology (and Roman life in general) in a small provincial setting (Pompeii and Herculaneum), in the imperial trade center (Ostia), and in Rome.
