ITAL 4 Reading Rome

This course introduces students to various topics of Italian culture through specific
examples taken from the context of Italy’s capital, largest city, and one of the West’s
most complex symbols: Rome. Topics include stereotypes and the idea of national
identity, society and politics, youth culture, family and gender roles, the arts, and
gastronomy. Students will learn to engage with Italian cultural phenomena through inclass
lectures and discussions, frequent site visit sites pertinent to the material we study,
as well as 6 half-day guided tours of important monuments and museums of Rome.
