Italy as a Classroom

This past Friday Pantheon Institute student Matthew Addison learned about Michelangelo. But Addison wasn’t in class, he was in Florence, part of the Pantheon Institute’s extended campus. Addison hopped a train at Rome’s Termini station and headed up through the Latium and then Tuscan countryside to Florence, capital of the region of Tuscany and Italy’s Renaissance capital. While Addison’s tourist itinerary wasn’t too packed (he was there to see a friend studying abroad), he did see Michelangelo’s David, the cathedral and the baptistery, the Ponte Vecchio, and the view of the city of Florence from the little town of Fiesole on the hill across the Arno River. Learning, inside and outside the classroom – that’s the Pantheon Institute.
