Today was the final day of instruction. The students are split into two groups since the Borghese Museum will not allow tours over 15 to go thru at one time. The first fifteen leave at 9:30ish for the hour trek by foot, No. 8 tram, foot, No. 63 bus, and then foot again. The appointment is from 11 to 1 pm. The second group met Professor Chimenti at the cat sanctuary at 2:00 pm so they can be taken to meet up with Dr. Leopardi in the beautiful park grounds that surround the Borghese. On the way we pass under what was a Roman aqueduct, that then became an exterior wall of Medieval Rome, that is now a stunning piece of architecture for us to walk thru as we head into the park on our way to the museum. There are no pictures allowed inside. This museum goes so far as to make all visitors check their bags and cameras at the door, not even the Vatican was that strict. Please look up the museum or works by Caravaggio, Raphael, Bernini, Titian, and Botticelli on line to see what we saw. At the end of this museum visit the students turn in their notebooks to be checked, they will be returned tomorrow so that they can begin working on their final.
