The Disobedient, the Abnormal and the Criminal in Italian Literature of the Long Nineteenth Century
Italian Literature Syllabus Giacomo Mannironi
The course focuses on the theme of disobedience from the second half of the 18th century to the opening decades of the twentieth. Observing how literature, science and the press approach acts of disobedience to societal norms allows to us to understand by way of contrast how the ideal rules of behaviour for men and women—”the good Italian”—in the pre-and post-unification periods were defined. The texts studied in the course illustrate the birth of an ideology that sets out to establish in ever more definitive and sharp terms that which is normal and acceptable by concentrating on that which is abnormal and unacceptable.

It aims to account for the transformations of scientific discourse over nearly six centuries by integrating the traditional narrative of epoch-making discoveries and advances with an exploration of the contexts within which science was not only practiced and disseminated, but also criticized and opposed.… Continue reading

Renaissance and Early Baroque Art in Bologna: From Vitale da Bologna to Domenichino and Guido Reni
History of Art Syllabus Elisabetta Cunsolo
The rich artistic patrimony of Bologna is a powerful testament to the city’s great cultural importance over the centuries. Due to its favorable location, as well as to the presence of its ancient and distinguished university, Bologna has always been recognized for its great geo-political importance as a place from which many new ideas were diffused throughout the Apennine peninsula and beyond. Often threatened from the outside and occasionally conquered, the city distinguished itself by its desire to remain autonomous and by the development of a unique artistic school indebted to the various north Italian models.… Continue reading

Bologna La Dotta (The Learned)
One of the three famous names for Bologna is “the Learned.” Easy to guess why! Founded around 1088, Bologna is home to the oldest university in the Western world. Its history is one of great thinkers in the sciences and the humanities, making it an indispensable point of reference in the panorama of European culture. Noteworthy students present at the university in centuries past included Dante Alighieri, Francesco Petrarca, Thomas Becket, Pope Nicholas V, Erasmus of Rotterdam, and Copernicus. With its five campuses in five cities of Emilia Romagna (Bologna, Rimini, Forlì, Cesena and Ravenna), UniBo today counts close to 100,000 students.… Continue reading

Bologna La Rossa (The Red)
Bologna owes the name “la Rossa” to its famed red buildings and to the fact that it is the birthplace and the home of Italy’s political left. With streets like embroidered cloth threaded with arches of continuous colonnades, now a UNESCO world heritage site, the heart of Bologna is a giant cloister. Above and behind its porticoes, Bologna is a rose-red city of unique churches and undiscovered palaces. The E.C.Co. program’s aim is its students’ cultural and linguistic immersion in the Bolognese and Italian social environment. We encourage students to explore the city, travel to other cities and towns around Bologna and take full advantage of everything the region has to offer!… Continue reading

Bologna La Grassa (The Fat)
Bologna is renowned for its cuisine. Tortellini, tagliatelle, ragù and many other traditional dishes draw visitors to Bologna from every corner of the world. The E.C.Co. program helps students experience this delicious aspect of the local culture by offering an unforgettable cooking course with the chef Rita Mattioli. The students meet with Rita for three lessons and learn to prepare traditional (but also non-conventional) dishes. After each cooking session, there is a dinner for all participants, where students taste excellent wines and share their views on food, diet and well being in general. Rita Mattioli’s cooking course has always been one of the highlights of the E.C.Co.… Continue reading

Ladies and gentlemen 1975/2016 Andy Warhol
Ladies and gentlemen 1975/2016 Andy Warhol
Signore e signori, ecco a voi Andy Warhol!
40 anni dopo la mostra omonima organizzata da #Warhol e #Pasolini al Palazzo dei Diamanti di Ferrara, stavolta tocca alla nostra Bologna: da oggi fino al 2 febbraio 2016, la Galleria Cavour, il “salotto buono della città”, ospiterà “Ladies & Gentlemen 1975/2016 Andy Warhol”.
La mostra raccoglie e ripresenta agli spettatori moderni gli scatti che il padre della Pop Art fece non alle celebrità ma alla gente comune, dai travestiti dei bassifondi di New York ai volti della strada, gente sconosciuta e soggetti borderline. Maschere che sono volti senza tempo, modelli umani replicati in modo ironico e provocatorio ma dotati comunque di una loro dignità.… Continue reading

Giovanna Acton, Wellesley College
I graduated from Wellesley College with a double major in International Relations and Italian Studies in May 2014. Currently, I am working in education at an elementary school with English Language Development (ELD) students, and am planning to attend graduate school in the near future. My experiences in Bologna helped me enormously both academically but also when seeking employment post-graduation. One of the great things about E.C.Co is it places you in an environment where you thrive academically and socially. Living with other Italian students improved my language enormously, and I am still in contact with many of those students.… Continue reading
