Monday May 7: Info



Hello everyone! We are getting closer and closer to our departure date and excitement is building!! Please note that I have posted some new links here on the 3V03 blog (see list on right). I will add some more before the end of the week. You may find these useful as you gather information about different sites before departure. I would also recommend consulting some of the excellent travel guides that are now available. The Let's Go guides are very helpful as are the Lonely Planet guides. These guides offer excellent information in general and they provide useful travel tips (what to pack, how to deal with laundromats, banking issues, how to stay safe, etc). I will be going over more of these matters in the remaining classes before departure but, in the meantime, you may want o use these resources.

Tonight I will be taking you through Venice, Padua and Ravenna via map. I would like to get you oriented so that you have a general feel for the layout of these cities before we arrive. As we take our virtual tour we'll periodically pause to further consider the the characteristics of  the cities. Be attentive as the upcoming test will require require you to consider some of these points.

In the second half of the class we'll take some time to go over more logistical matters.

See you at 7:00!

  1. Hi! Thank you so much for sharing with us an information about Florence Museums. This is a good read! How I wish I could visit this place someday. You have a very informative and interesting page. Keep writing good stuff like this. I'll be looking forward to visit your page again and for your other posts as well. I had so much fun reading and of course to have additional learnings from you with this blog. Kudos!
    Based on what I have read on an Italian English magazine a long time ago, starting from the late Middle Ages, Florentine money—in the form of the gold florin—financed the development of industry all over Europe, from Britain to Bruges, to Lyon and Hungary. Florentine bankers financed the English kings during the Hundred Years War, as well as the papacy, including the construction of their provisional capital of Avignon and, after their return to Rome, the reconstruction and Renaissance embellishment of the latter.
    Figure out all the details now before you get there and you’ll get to see and enjoy so much more! That’s the idea behind our site. Check out all of the options below to see what you’re interested in and what you absolutely can’t miss!
