Classes kicked off along the corso, or path, this morning, with visual arts students sketching the depth of the street and the buildings, while photography students took pictures of the local shop owners (and made some new friends!)

After lunch, it was down to the local art store Paoluzzi for a bookmaking demonstration…and a few lucky students were able to try their hand at making journals! Every Spoleto Study Abroad student this summer received a handmade SSA journal from Paoluzzi when they arrived. Owner Roberto and his son Fabio are longtime friends of the program and their art store is a must visit for the visual arts students.

Finally, the day concluded with dinner at the Hotel Clitunno again, with a special chocolate lava cake for dessert…followed by movie night at a small theatre just off the main piazza in Old Town.
