| Description: | Why is the architecture of Venice so fascinating to tourists; and what does it reveal about the time in which it was built? Other Italian towns and citieslike Urbino and Veronahave entirely different architectural forms that reveal different developmental stories: from the perfection of Renaissance form in the hill town of Urbino to the Mannerist forms of Verona. Professor Wadsworth has taught for two summers with the Fitchburg State program in Verona, traveling and shooting architectural images as much as possible. Fascinated by these varying styles, she has been inspired to research this more thoroughly. In 2009, she was the recipient of the Faculty Research and Scholarship Award. | |
