Flagship Program
The Flagship Program explores the fascinating intersection of anatomy in the medical curriculum with the Italian Renaissance from Rome to Venice!
Artistic masterpieces are examined from an anatomical perspective, showcasing how the painters and sculptors of the past were not only creators but also keen students of anatomy.
As you walk the halls of William Harvey and Andreas Vesalius, and step into the dissection theatre of Gabriele Falloppio, you will witness where modern anatomy as a science was founded.
The Flagship Program is available in two distinct itineraries, along with a Global Seminar for San Diego State University.
Anatomia Italiana del Nord
Anatomia Italiana del Nord, meaning of the North, explores Milan, Pavia, Turin, and Stresa along the picturesque shores of Lake Maggiore, alongside the renowned Barolo vineyards of the Piedmont countryside.
Visitors can experience the fusion of Renaissance art and anatomy, featuring masterpieces like Leonardo's Last Supper and Michelangelo's last Pietà.
This program also delves into the rich heritage of Italian anatomy programs at historic museums in the universities of Milan, Pavia, and Turin, honoring legendary anatomists such as Antonio Scarpa, Camillo Golgi, and Luigi Rolando.
Anatomia Italiana del Sud
Anatomia Italiana del Sud, meaning of the South, delves into enchanted Sicily, a Mediterranean island at the crossroads of cultures for 3,000 years, as well as select sites of the southern Italian Peninsula.
The itinerary includes ancient Greco-Roman depictions of the human form in sculpture, painting, and mosaic, as well as showcasing the body as a vehicle for religious expression in several ossuary shrines and crypts.
The Program also tours university anatomy museums in Palermo and Naples, the ruins of Pompeii or Herculaneum, and the 2,500-year-old Greek temples of Agrigento. Indulging in Sicilian cuisine adds to the experience, offering a unique cultural journey unlike any other in Europe.
Northern Europe Program
The Northern Europe Program showcases London's university anatomy museums and Old Operating Theatre, alongside Rembrandt's Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Tulp in the Netherlands.
This program's richness emerges not only from connecting Italian anatomy programs with the Dutch Masters, but also from its celebration of the grandeur of Northern Europe through the lens of Renaissance art and anatomy.
