Rising above the Ruins: Italian Humanist Architecture and Art

Humanism is grounded in a worldview that emphasizes reason and compassion. It is also a philosophy of life that champions personal interests, values, and intellectual freedom. On the Apennine Peninsula, where stars twinkle in the sky, the Renaissance marked the beginning of humanism's gradual illumination of the world. This movement propelled the entire modernization process and laid the groundwork for the spiritual sustenance of Western culture and art.

This journey explores classical architectures and cultural heritage sites. We will trace the thread of Italian Humanism on a journey through Rome, Florence, and the Veneto region.
