John Hall Venice - Lectures & Visits

London

Venice

Florence

Rome

From London we travel to Venice where we spend the next six weeks. Venice's imperial history and the range of its artistic achievements are renowned, while its advantages as a centre for study and living are incomparable - its human scale, its lack of noise and violence, its sense of separate identity and the unforgettable beauty of sky and buildings reflected in the waters of lagoon and canals. The length of our stay in Venice allows a leisurely and residential style of living and makes possible the various activities which our students enjoy while there.
