You know Roma. You know Milano. But what about the Italian cities beyond the tourist guides? Join renowned scholar and Hot Docs favourite Dr. Kenneth Bartlett (Venice: The City of Dreams, The Italian Renaissance) for a colourful journey across the great regional cities of the Italian peninsula. As we explore the rich history, art and architecture of these hidden gems, we’ll experience La Bella Italia as we’ve never seen it before.

Led by Dr. Kenneth Bartlett, Professor of History and Renaissance Studies at the University of Toronto. A celebrated Canadian academic, Prof. Bartlett has published numerous influential books and over 40 articles on the Renaissance, most recently “The Renaissance in Italy: A History,” and won world renown for his 5 video series for “The Great Courses.” A recipient of the prestigious 3M National Teaching fellowship among other such awards, he regularly leads tours to Italy for museums and cultural organizations.
