AHA makes it happen - Six-Week-Courses-in-Italy - Art History Abroad

In essence, the whole course is more an exclusive tour rather than an excursion. We include private visits to the Basilica of St Marks in Venice, as well as to the Vatican Museums. We can do this because of the contacts we have made over 24yrs. We love great art and we make it our business to know the people who look after it; so we get to open the hidden doors as well as the great big golden Baptistry ones. We have managed to take tea in Ezra Pound’s house in Venice, and prosecco at Harold Acton’s villa in Florence. When an individual student told us that their life’s ambition was to see Ostia Antica, we rejigged the timetable so that it could be done. The same goes for a girl who was desperate to see the Opera in Verona. When it is possible, we are always flexible. Our motto is: it can happen.
