This spring Professor Jack Ahern led a study tour to Venice, Florence and Rome Italy with 17 students from landscape architecture, regional planning, architecture and art history.

The tour focused on urban history, historic parks and gardens and museums.  One highlight was a 3 day stay at the Villa Gamberaia, a renaissance masterpiece of garden design in Florence.
