Reading Rome

In this reading and discussion group, we’ll experience Rome through the eyes and words of four renowned authors, two native Italians and two adoptive Italians. In the works we’ll read, we’ll encounter diverse insights into the Eternal City that is ever-changing, and into the multiplicities of what it means to be Italian and to live in Italy. Whether you want to expand your familiarity with Rome itself or with Italian literature, this course is sure to spark discussion and provide new perspectives.
