The End of a Great Adventure

 

Hello all

I had a wonderful experience on our month-long trip to Italy. I've definitely fulfilled my dream of being in a food coma because when I tell you we ate so much I mean it. Crabs and carbs after carbs. It is crazy how Italians eat like this every day for the rest of their lives, I am thankful that we walked so much, or else I don't know if I could eat anymore.


My first time trying carbonara pasta was in Rome Italy after we visited the Colosseum. It was perfectly paired next to a bellini. I do not believe that I will ever be able to surpass the sensation and gratification of eating Italian food ever again unless I come back to Italy. Olive Garden will never be able to square up with Italian pasta. I now know why the argument was so heated.







I had a wonderful time with everyone and i would do it all over again

A Day of Rome

January 26th discussion and adventures: The topics of my discussion centered around the artistic culture of the Renaissance, and how the role of a women fit into its culture over time. In Rome, we were able to see many artistic pieces crafted over many generations which represented a shift during the Renaissance. Here, traditional religious artworks turned into personal aspirations and passions of all sorts of character. As high demand required for ample access to art for social status and luxury, the people of the Renaissance were quick to delve into their creativity and present new approaches to artwork. Until the Renaissance, art was exclusively crafted as a relic of the Gods or of ancient prophets and legends and was kept in its traditional roots. This shift paved the way for new forms of painting, theater, music, and all types of creative passions to prosper in new and authentic ways. During this time, women's perception towards their own treatment in society began to shift to...
