As the longest republic in history, the 鈥渕ost serene republic of Venice鈥� has fascinated聽historians and political thinkers since the Renaissance. What were the organizational 聽principles, the political institutions and social structures of the Venetian Republic that聽made it so impervious to the trials of time? On this trip, students have the opportunity聽to discuss these essential historical questions in our visit of the Doge鈥檚 palace and on聽the streets of the city.聽The purpose of the Fine Arts portion of this trip is two-fold. We visit the many cultural聽wonders concentrated in Venice including the Grand Canal, the Palazzo Ducale and the聽Piazza San Marco. At the same time, we draw in and around this most particular city.聽There will be short Art History lectures given at each sight every morning are followed聽by afternoon drawing sessions.
