Program Description

The Italian Renaissance of the 14th and 15th centuries is regarded as one of the most important cultural movements of world history, and it also helped usher in major social changes in other arenas. These developments occurred in independent Italian city-states, most notably Florence, Genoa and Venice. The Green School Semester in Genoa for Spring 2025 offers a multidisciplinary program to learn about these developments while immersing oneself in this beautiful port city. Courses (12 credits) will be taught by faculty from FIU and the University of Genoa.
