The Franca Camiz Memorial Field Seminar in Art History
Franca Camiz, professor of art history for many years at TC/RC, single-handedly immersed countless students in Roman art and life in her fast-paced course, The City of Rome. We honor her memory with a special intensive course (seminar and fieldwork) with guided research at fine art institutes in Rome. Valentino Pace, a distinguished art historian who has taught at TC/RC since 1976, leads this exceptional opportunity for students interested in the art historian’s craft.
