Oakton Tour Showcases Cultural Italy
Experience history, culture, and art on a two-week travel/study tour of Italy offered through Oakton Community College. The final 2007 trip is scheduled to depart on Sept. 29.
Begin in the capital of Milan, and view gothic cathedrals throughout the city. After a brief stop in Verona, home of Romeo and Juliet, continue on to Venice, and visit St. Mark's Square and Basilica, Piombi Prisons, and the Bridge of Sighs. In Florence, visit the Academia, home of Michelangelo's David, and the Uffizi Gallery, which is filled with works by Botticelli, Michelangelo, Caravaggio, and Raffaello. The tour concludes in Rome, with visits to the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel, the Colosseum, and catacombs along Old Appian Way.
Along the journey, savor Italian culture through cuisine, art, and personal interaction. Lower cost versions of this learning vacation are available for the budget-minded traveler. Alternative trips include more modest accommodations and meal packages.
