Programma del corso

The course is structured in two closely related parts:
1. Fundamentals of European art history
In the first part of the course, we will offer a survey of the artistic cultures of Europe from the Paleolithic period until contemporary art, selecting specific historical moments and including architecture, sculpture, and painting. We will explore European works of art in their social context, addressing issues of patronage, iconology, material culture, and religious development and conflict, among other topics.
2. Presentation of tourist itineraries in Europe
In the second part of the course, some possible tourist itineraries in Europe will be constructed and presented, structuring hypothetical visits to big and small museums, art cities, and specific territories, including minor and peripheral ones.
