We're almost half through the program. Here is a question for you. Please identify this spot and link it to one of the texts we have read in class.
It's Sunday, and everyone is in Rome today (that is, except for me). Randall called to say the city has calmed down a little. AJ and Joseph apparently have good stories about what it was like yesterday, at the tail end of the demonstrations around the G-8 meeting and President Bush's visit to the Vatican. I'm looking forward to hearing about it. Apparently Rome is very hot today; but there is no way students should miss the Eternal City. What time did Ilana and Hayley get up to make it? Maybe next year, we'll plan a few days in Rome with lectures, not just touring.
Bologna and the rebuilt ghetto tomorrow. We meet at the main train station at 9 am. Please someone bring my ticket!!

"Popular Hostility to Spanish Jews in Florence" 1493.
One of the Marrano jews was involved in a fight with some Christian boys. The suspect then damaged the statue of Mary and the child in her arms. I suspect this was the statue he damaged (supposedly(?))?
