2023/2024 History of Art Courses

Our 2024 cycle of monthly courses can be followed in person, with lectures and visits conducted in Florence, or online via Zoom. "Blended" lectures (live and via zoom silmultaneously) are held and broadcast from the British Institute library on Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons, while visits are conducted on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons.

• Join us in March for a two-week course exploring Grand-Tour Florence, along with our  A Century of Women in the Arts course, organised in collaboration with Calliope Arts, which explores Florence's 'forgotten century' from a woman's perspective . From the Grand Tour to the unification of Italy, from the foundations of feminism, to the advent of the partisans, meet the women who forged a century of change in Florence.
• In June, we also are running 360⁰ FLORENCE which acquaints participants with the history of Florence through a series of historical walks and museum visits. The perfect introductory programme for new residents, students, or anyone who'd like to know the city inside out, and discover its many wonders. 
• November will see a two-week Renaissance edition of our popular lecture series Super Tuscans, devoted to artists and architects of the region along with their most celebrated masterpieces, followed by a two-week course Ars Italica devoted to Italian art from the Alps to the Sicily!
