COURSE
DESCRIPTION:
This course provides an overview of the cultural and
artistic history of Rome from its origins to World War II. It has been
designed for students interested in gaining a broad knowledge of Rome and in
particular for students considering study in Rome with programs offered by
various UW departments (Architecture, Art History, Classics, CHID, English,
History, Italian and others). Literary and historical documents, visual
arts and architecture will be used to explore the changing face of the
Eternal City, its myths and imagery, from the legendary founding by Romulus,
through the Classical and Renaissance periods, to Mussolini’s fascist Rome
and the modern city. As one of the world’s most important historical, intellectual
and cultural centers, the study of Rome offers a unique point of entry into
the diverse European traditions which have invested the city with their
varied meanings.
