COURSE: Art Crime and Cultural Heritage
1. Houses Under Palazzo Valentini and Hadrian’s Auditorium:
One of the coolest thing about Rome is it’s remarkable history and archaeological ruins. I would definitely recommend checking out this underground palace when you visit Rome, because it is example of some of Rome’s successes in preserving their culture and new discoveries. Below the Palazzo Valentini was a palace that is preserved so well that you can see the details of the marbles yourself by simply looking below your feet through clear glass floors.

3. Villa Giulia Musuem
4. Monuments Tour (Pantheon, Theater of Marcellus, Hadrian’s Auditorium, Column of Trajan, Imperial Fora & Fire Walls, Roman Forum, Colosseum)
