English and American Authors in Italy

For British and American authors, Italy has always been a very evocative place. Writers such as Keats, Shelly, Robert and Elizabeth Browning, Hawthorne, Twain and Lawrence were inspired by the pastoral beauty of the countryside, the mystery of Etruscan ruins, the romantic setting of the Forum and other Imperial Roman ruins, and the warmth and hospitality of the Italians. Their inspiration led to writings which continue to capture the beauty and appeal of Italy.

This program follows the footsteps of these writers - and integrates their writings with visits to Rome, Florence, Etruscan burial grounds, and the Ligurian coast.
