Dr. A. Becucci brings an exceptional level of knowledge to this presentation. As a Florentine herself, she also contributes current knowledge of the city's happenings, as well as the historical; which can be helpful to tourists in planning their trips. She has a nice sense of humor, as displayed in her discussion of the Palio in Siena.
Thank you Dr. Alessandra for another great lecture. The rich history of Santa Croce is presented beautifully with your knowledge and slides.
I really enjoyed the course on the Santa Croce in Florence. Dr. Becucci is very knowledgeable about church and art history, and shared some very interesting anecdotes with us, I would recommend this course for anyone interested in Florence.
We have visited Santa Croce many times. Dr. Becucci added a new dimension to my understanding of this church and its history....
