The Culture and Art of Florence:
Marianopolis Culture Abroad Trip
Spring Break 2009
(Hui Ting Yang)
Florence
is the cradle of the Renaissance, a bustling city that teems with art,
culture, history and activity. This trip gave Marianopolis students
the chance to admire this beautiful city and its contributions to the
world first hand. Seeing art and architecture is an experience that
cannot be replicated. Oh, and did anyone mention the gelato?
Each year, Marianopolis College students have the opportunity to
participate in trips to Europe.
