During October half term, nine sixth form Art and Art History pupils spend three days in Florence and three days in Rome.
In Florence, they visited the Bargello, Uffizi an Academic galleries, the San Marco Convent and the Palazzo Medici, in which they were able to see Botticelli's 'Primavera', Fra Angelico's 'The Annunciation' as well as many "Davids". They even saw some Tracey Emin all under the impressive presence of the 15th century Duomo.
In Rome, the pupils were lucky enough to see Michelangelo's 'Pieta' in St Peter's Basilica, as well as exploring the Vatican Museum and marvelling at the beautiful ceilings of the Sistine chapel, climb St Peter's Dome and see yet another David in the Borghese.
The upper sixth pupils absolutely loved the Trevi Fountain and the Piazza Novona, as well as people watching on the Spanish steps, and superfluity of gelato!
A memorable trip was indefinitely had by all.
