VISIT TO VILLA MARTELLI in FLORENCE


Students in Dr. Merrick’s Comparative Politics and Cultures class visited the historic Villa Martelli near the Duomo (cathedral) in the historic heart of Florence.  The Martellis were a powerful family during the Renaissance period and friends of the famous (and more powerful) Medici family.  The Villa is not open to the general public, but arrangements were made for a private guided tour.  The Villa has been recently restored to its original beauty, and its walls are filled with precious artwork from Italian Italian and European artists.
