Testimonial“Supervised by great teachers and local experts, we visited different archeological sites and museums. The discussions about these sites often were so fascinating that they were continued over dinner—and a nice glass of wine. The group was heterogeneous—Dutch, Swedish, American, and Italian (art-) historians, archeologists, architects and urban planners—and this led to very varied and stimulating perspectives and insights.”
