IMPRESSIONI SULLE USCITE DIDATTICHE (PROGETTO AUREUS) – 4° C
The Florence experience was for all of us, in 4° C, an important experience,
not only because it helped us to form a close class, but also because it has
allowed of us to learn more about a beautiful city.
Livia Bruni IV sez.C
One of the most beautiful experiences that I’ve ever had was in Florence.
There I got to know my classmates better and met lots of new people. I had a
lot of fun! I hope I will able to return to Florence.
Davide Albarin IV sez.C
Florence was a wonderful experience for all of us, because we had the
opportunity to learn more about Florence, using the English language.

On October 11th my classmates and I went to Barracco Museum, where
there are the works of art of the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans and
Babylonians.
The museum is located on Corso Vittorio Emanuele II and is housed in a
Renaissance-style building; in fact you can see beautiful frescoes on the
ceilings.
I really enjoyed this museum; it has a collection that is not very rich, but
contains many important things about the Egyptian culture. Unfortunately,
we couldn’t see the rooms dedicated to Greek, Roman and Babylonian art,
but I hope to go back.
With all the informations that I got from the guide I have expanded my
culture; before I didn’t know, for example, that the Egyptians used three
languages. This short visit to the museum was very important for me and my
classmates.
Eugenio Bucchi IV sez.C
I liked the visit to the Barracco Museum a lot. All the pieces of art in there
were interesting! I liked best the sphinx and the “canopi” vases.The sphinx
was very mysterious! I also liked the guide, which was, in my opinion, very
interesting.
Giorgio Ivan Conti IV sez.C
The visit to the Museum Barracco was the first that the class did. Fortunatly,
we will go on more trips because we take part in the AUREUS project.
The visit to the Museum was very nice and interesting, especially the guide,
who was very interesting. This Museum is located in centre of Rome, in
Corso Vittorio Emanuele, in a beautiful palace of XVI century, that hosts the
beautiful collection of Giovanni Barracco. Inside the Museum there are
many objects, statues and Egyptian artifacts. In the Museum there are also a
lot of Greek, Etruscan, Cipriot and Sumerian objects. This Museum is very
interesting because it has unique, historical objects collected by a single
man.
Federico De Rossi IV sez.C
About a month ago we went to visit the museum where there was an
exhibition about Cleopatra. It was interesting, but the guide wasn’t very
interesting. The most beautiful part was the hall where the jewels were
exhibited.
Serena De Santo IV sez.C
The museum with the Cleopatra exibition was very interesting and rich in
finds like statues, jewelry and the remains of ancient floors. The guide
wasn’t very interesting, but the visit was a good initiative.
Ilaria Delmonaco IV sez.C
We went to the Chiostro del Bramante to see the Cleopatra exhibit. The
darkness of the place created a very suggestive atmosphere.
There were a lot of artifacts, which were from important world exhibition,
like the Egyptian’s exhibition in Turin.
My favourite pieces were the bust of Cleopatra, which was very beautiful
and the pictures of the Nile, full of figures and colours and vitality. Another
interesting thing was the Fayyum’s portrait.
Caterina Falvella IV sez.C
On the visit of the Vatican Museums, I really liked a lot of things. My
favourite one is the Last Judgement in the Sistine Chapel. In the chapel is
held the “conclave”, a cerimony where all the cardinals vote for a new pope.
This chapel is very famous for the painting of Last Judgement: this fresco,
infact, represents a lot of saints and the struments that caused their death. A
famous part of this fresco is the self-portrait of Michelangelo Buonarroti,
who painted this chapel; his face is represented in the skin of Saint
Bartolomeus, who was skinned alive. This fresco was commissioned by
Clemente VII and was painted from 1536 to 1541.
Anna Lombardo IV sez.C
During the visit to the Vatican Museum we saw the Gregorian Egyptian
Museum, which was inaugurated by Pope Gregorio XVI. I loved it because
it was a very interesting visit. After we saw the Sistine Chapel, tapestries and
the maps of Italy and the Italian regions. The sculpture that I liked the most
was that of Apollo del Belvedere, a Roman copy of a bronze statue of the IV
century b.C.
Chiara Mancuso IV sez.C
In december my class and I went to the Vatican Museums. We saw many
interesting and beautiful things. For example, some Egyptian statues in
granite and Laocoonte’s statue. We also saw tapestries and the Gallery of
Geographic Maps. Then we visited the Sistine Chapel, that is wonderful. In
the Chapel is represented the biblical story from the creation to the
judgement. We learnt and enjoyed it a lot; this was an incredible experience!
