It's always a learning experience with Alessandra. She is incredibly knowledgeable about Italy in general, and Florence specifically. I have taken a number of her courses and she is an excellent speaker. She takes us into a church (or a Medici villa) in such depth and helps us understand the connections between artists, the meaning of the artwork, and details about the building itself that we would not otherwise know about. 5 Stars!
Excellent presentation. She really knows her material and presents it extremely well! I have taken many context seminars, and this was the best!
I so enjoyed this session. I knew very little about this Church and Dr. Becucci as usual gives a wonderful narrative about the place, the historical significance and the art. Wonderful.
As always, interesting, well-organized, thoughtful and entertaining with great photos.
In-depth and very detailed, lecture delivered with a lot of energy and enthusiasm. Better than actually being there!
