Venice Program and CurriculumLdM Venice students are encouraged to enroll in a 6-credit Italian language course complemented by courses in a variety of subjects, including history, art history, film studies, environmental studies, photography, painting, drawing, and cuisine. In all these fields, courses aim to use the extraordinary environment of Venice to stimulate students' skills, intellect and creativity, while at the same time offering them a solid grounding in the disciplines of their choice based on high-quality academic values. The focus on the unique and manifold roles of Venice is made possible by expert local professors who will guide students to discover the city's exceptional resources and opportunities.The curriculum allows students to explore how this tiny maritime republic became an economic superpower in the Middle Ages; how its breathtaking art and architecture were profoundly shaped by the Greek and Muslim worlds; or how and why the city has been a setting for some of the great works of world cinema. Students may wish to investigate the ecosystem of the Venetian lagoon as a case study in modern environmental challenges; or learn how to cook Venetian delicacies that have their roots in the city's historic role as a cultural crossroads. Venice's great artistic tradition stretches from Renaissance figures such as Bellini, Titian, Tintoretto and Palladio to the daring talents of today's Venice Biennale exhibition: students may wish to follow in the footsteps of these artists by taking studio art courses that exploit the unforgettable visual atmosphere of the city.

These marbles, the works of the dreamers and idealists of old, live on, leading and pointing to good. They are the works of visionaries and dreamers, but they are realizations of soul, the representations of the ideal. They are grand, beautiful, and true, and they speak with a voice that echoes through the ages. Governments have changed; empires have fallen; nations have passed away; but these mute marbles remain-the oracles of time, the perfection of art. |
