EE- continued

Unfortunately I am unable to go to Athens since my friend living there is spending her holidays in another country, therefore, I was thinking I could probably visit the Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence and the Basilica di San Francesco alla Rocca in Viterbo. Otherwise, I will try to come up with other ideas. What really attracts me is Impressionism, it would've also been interesting to compare it with another artistic current by actually visiting art museums and art galleries.

    Hi SDB

    Try to keep the focus visual - don't get pulled towards a sociological or historical subject (unless you want to swap EE area)

    If you want to do something on Impressionism make sure that you look at a very specific area - and refer to works that you have actually seen.

    Here's a suggestion:

    look at 'The ideal City' by Pierro della Francesca and compare it to the view of The church of the Assunta by Gian Lorenzo Bernini in Ariccia (where you LIVE). You could then look at how the Chigi family may have set up that fake visual landscape in front of their palace (it blocks out the real centro storico) and compare it to how Mussolini configured 1930s Rome as a theatrical set telling of the glories of the Roman Empire.
