A Look Back

* What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? This was the last program that the professor in question will ever do. To anyone who didn't take it, you missed a once in a lifetime chance to learn fascinating things about art, history, culture, food, religion, and other things that make Italy great from a guy who has been a historian longer than most students have been alive.
