A blog for Elon University's 2012 Winter Term course Italy's Heritage: Past is Present. Follow us here as we engage Italy's past from the ancient era to the postmodern present. Our course reporters will post regular updates commenting on how our course readings, on-site visits, group discussion, and the classroom community shape our understanding of the past--and the present.

Buon giorno! Yesterday we had the opportunity to go to the beautiful city of Firenze (Florence), which many students took. We were able to experience the sites, culture and shopping! We were advised to visit and climb to the top of the duomo... All 463 steps to the top! At the top is a rewarding 360 degree view of the entire city! The leather markets were a great adventure for many. We learned to bargain Italian shop owners to really great deals! After an amazing day in Firenze, we are off to Rome once again!
