At lunch an Italian couple sitting nearby was curious about our students. Were they philosophy students? Art students? They were impressed by the student conversations they had overheard. We ran into them again on the terrace and they offered to take these group photos. Ours are indeed fantastic and unique students. #romeinstituteofliberalarts #sjc #uta

In the Capitoline we saw a remarkable collection of ancient sculptures and early modern paintings in a beautiful setting, and got to visit the Tabularium (where the 12 Tables were kept, and with a great view of the forum). And at the end of a long week we all went together for aperitivi. 🥂 #romeinstituteofliberalarts #sjc #uta

Loooong day braving the crowds in the Vatican Museums and St. Peter’s. We had a great start in the quiet of the Museo Gregorio Profano, and then into the fray. Love this group of students. Full of enthusiasm even at the end of the day 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼. St. Peter’s with new Jubilee routes was challenging, but at least this year we got to go through a part of Bernini’s scala regia which I had only been able to see before in photos. #romeinstituteofliberalarts #sjc #uta #rila

More end of Friday relaxation at the Museo delle Terme, a winged connoisseur, and an extra from the other day at Palazzo Altemps. #romeinstituteofliberalarts #sjc #uta

Palazzo Altemps, Massimo, and Museo delle Terme. We had a couple of lectures on ancient art this week, and these places gave us great examples to talk about, in beautiful settings to boot. #romeinstituteofliberalarts #sjc #uta

Everyone posing as Knidian Aphrodite after a very long day at Palazzo Massimo and Museo delle Terme (and a seminar and a lecture on Roman art before that). We are having an amazing time together, very grateful about how much energy they have. #romeinstituteofliberalarts #sjc #uta

First day walking Rome with this summer’s RILA group. We have a very fun group this year! They were not slowed down at all by jet lag 💪 as we went to the Pantheon, the Gesu’ and the neighbourhood. #romeinstituteofliberalarts #sjc #uta
