The newest arts school
in Florence specializing in teaching art, cuisine, culture and Italian
language, originally opened its doors as Apicius, the Culinary Institute of
Florence in 1999. In just a few short years, it has expanded and grown to
the extent that a new division has been added, Florence University of
the Arts. Authorized by and accredited through the Italian Ministry
of Public Education, the University offers extensive Studio Arts, Language,
Social Studies and Humanities programs. Located in the historic center of
Florence, Florence University of the Arts and Apicius are quickly becoming the
foremost institutions studying art, culture, and culinary arts.
ASU Courses
| ASU Art Courses: Florentine Art History in situ.
(Monday-Thursday, 9 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.)
Taught by Dr. Alyson Gill, ASU, Assistant
Professor of Art
History and Dr. Daniel Reeves, ASU, Dean, College of Fine Arts.
 A survey of the breadth of
Renaissance art in Florence, from its beginnings in the 13th century to the
16th century transformation into an age of artistic and intellectual giants.
Lectures conducted on site, in the presence of heroic works. Using readings
from original sources, students will begin to reconstruct the intentions of
Renaissance artists, the language with which they discussed and understood
art, and the reception of their works by their original audience. Attention
will be given to the changing functions served by works of art in the Italian
Renaissance society and the impact of humanism, economics, science and ideas
upon the arts.
Art history in situ lab fee covering admission to museums, galleries and
churches, $75 additional.

working on location in Florence using the artistic, social and cultural
resources of the city and surrounding area and will accommodate independent
study. Subject matter will be derived from the city, landscape, architectural
detail and the local environment.
