Art Tour to Fiesole for dinner. 2003
Painting & Drawing students, Venice, Fiesole, Studio, talking architecture.
| Since 1999 I have been sharing the art and architecture of Florence and Siena as well as other places in Italy with small groups and private family/groups who are art enthusiasts and want to spend a meaning-filled visit to Italy learning about important art works in a relaxed and inspiring discussion group. | |||
San Miniato, Boboli Gardens
| "It's been a wonderful week, ...The thing I enjoyed most was learning. Developing a knowledge of Florentine history thru the art & architecture became a rich tapestry of individual threads that are (still) slowly coming together. ... And of course, the vino & grappa! " P.M., Toronto | ||
Rome, sketching at the Colloseum
| "I think what made this great was the small group of enthusiastic people & most of all your true interest in all the art & history. Your emotional connection with the subject matter came across as you spoke & gave us all an opportunity to look deeper at each piece. It was not a "tour" - it was an experience. To label what you gave us a tour would be to say that Cellini gave us - statues. Mr. C.Clyde | |||
| "Very reasonably priced. It was almost a private art tour and a wonderful introduction to the world of the Renaissance art and the Medici. I had no idea that Renaissance art was so political. One of the things that was great was going to Fiesole which was off the beaten track and I imagine most people don't get to see. There were no tourists! " C. McLain | |||
