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.
