Italian experience for Fine Arts lovers

2. The reason why Italy has so
many frescos painted
both in the churches and
in the venetian Villas is
that “Art” is a great form
of description: during
the centuries the Church
was in need of leading
people who couldn’t
even read and write, but
everyone could
understand the images
of the frescoes.
Aristocratic families
wanted to tell their
personal story and leave
a lasting memory as a
part of the history of
Italy.

3. The tradition of fresco making is not the same as traditional art, it describes the
world and the times in which it has been made and it tells us what we – the
Italians - have been and where we are. In some way it is a form of
communication of the Italian relationships, the aesthetic, the
social and the political world during those centuries.

4. If you think of Italy as an extraordinary Country, if you like our fashion, our architecture,
museums, design, art and music, then you will be pleased to come for a “12 days Italian
language and fresco course” which will let you discover the Art of the frescoes by
Pisanello, Andrea Mantegna, Paolo Veronese, Giulio Romano.

5. We will also provide tours to Sabbioneta
- World Heritage Site -
to visit the magnificent ideal city built by
Vespasiano Gonzaga between 1556 and 1591.

6. You will see the Gongaza Gallery
frescoes which are telling his personal story.

7. We will bring you to the Basilica of Saint Zeno and see its frescoes
and the famous Tryptych painted by
Andrea Mantegna
the great Master of the Italian fresco.

8. We will take you to Villa Barbato Maser built by
Andrea Palladio to see the well famous frescoes by Paolo Veronese.
The Villa has a winery in the estate and a nice wine tasting is scheduled too.

9. In the same day we will visit the magnificent
Villa Emo in Fanzolo to see the frescoes
by Giovanni Battista Zelotti.

10. A visit to Mantua and Palazzo Té with its frescoes by
Giulio Romano is scheduled as well.

11. We have also planned for you two cooking courses and some wine tastings.
Why? Because the Italian food and wines have a clear link with all the other
Italian arts and….
Because good food and good wines make our life a better one!
