Students return from the TMI summer trip to Italy

TMI students and parents enjoyed exploring the Italian cities of Rome, Assisi, Florence, and Venice during the TMI Summer Trip to Italy which took place from June 17-25 with faculty sponsor Mrs. Claudia Clark. Group participants experienced the evolution in art and architecture from ancient Roman times to the Byzantine and on to the Renaissance and the Baroque. Moreover, they learned about the political, artistic, social and religious underpinnings of the Renaissance in its birthplace and its lasting influence. All in all it was a great communal experience; parents, students and faculty shared in the joy of travel.
