Together with Professor of the Culture of Food and Wine professor Gregory Smith, the Rome staff hosted a Renaissance evening at our Global Campus in Rome, located at the Villa Ferretti, last week. Students, faculty and staff dined on a Renaissance banquet, including legume salad and stew, with sips of an Umbrian wine.
Before a dessert of biscotti and amaretti, guests were entertained by a choreographed Renaissance dance in the main foyer of the villa. Students then took the space over, with Renaissance-inspired dance, while serenaded by a musician on a guitar and recorder.
CEA also invited students studying at the Global Campus from the College of St. Benedict and St. John’s University to participate. These students happily joined in the banquet and festivities.
For an evening, the Roman villa was transported back in time.
