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.

ROMEin' Around
Salve! We have been very busy since our return to Rome on Tuesday, savoring every last minute that we have in this beautiful country we have come to call home over the past several weeks. We have learned about the Renaissance in Rome, as well as Baroque Rome since returning to the city, visiting several churches and viewing many art forms. Another exciting highlight we had was a story session with Vernon Silver, a reporter for Bloomberg News and the author of The Lost Chalice. Our bellies are filled with magnificent pasta, cheeses, and pizza and we are fueled up for our last three days (only three... wow) in Rome. In the meantime, here are a few fun things we have done and sights we have seen.
