New year message from Academic Director of Rome programmes

BUON ANNO

Kent in Rome’s MA programmes kicked off over the last couple of weeks in fine, mild weather. In addition to various classes, activities and social events up at AUR, we leapt into our programme of on-site visits to the Forum, the Campus Martius, the Vatican Museums (including Fra Angelico’s Cappella Niccolina which is normally closed) and various churches. The students are settled into busy schedules with lots of assigned work but seem to be enjoying themselves and we have some very interesting visits ahead. I am particularly looking forward to taking all of the students to Tivoli in April, and before that the art historians have trips to Florence, Orvieto, Perugia and Spello as well numerous visits in Rome.
