Travels to Italy
I am beyond excited to travel to Italy, and not only for the experience a month-long course on various historical topics of the regions, but also tour the country from north to south, getting exposed to various environments and cultures. I have never been to Italy before, but grew up learning about the Roman empire, the Medici family, Machiavelli's prince, and Italy's role in its surrounding international community. I am excited to learn of the history, politics, art, food, culture, architecture, and so many other parts of Rome. I will say, I am particularly excited for the food. I can't wait to try their various cheeses and pastas and their gelato! I hope I can pick up on some Italian while I am there too.
In terms of knowledge, I hope to learn of the developing economy and politics of over various centuries of conquest and change in leadership. Italy is such a fascinating place and I truly look forward to each day I am there, I simply cannot wait. :)
