Contenuti
The School of Art, Humanities and Cultural Heritage of the University of Bologna is inaugurating in the academic year 2016/17 a new series of lectures under the title of "Introduction to Italian Culture".
The series is thought primarily for all UNIBO international students, with the goal of introducing them to the culture and history of their hosting country and city, but also for operating as a space of integration between international and local students.
Conceived as an interdisciplinary program and organized around specific topics such as "Italy before Italy", "Italian Renaissance and the Modern World", "Birth of a Nation", "Recent Trends", and two annual topics, "Landscapes" and "Food", every week some of our best faculty and guest lecturers will offer new insights on peculiar dimensions of Italian culture. Students can attend single classes of their interest, but they can also obtain academic credits (SEE [#Infos_in_summary] for details).
Classes will take place each Thursday from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. in via Zamboni 38, AULA 3.
Students interested are invited to attend a welcoming party on Sept. 22
