Project 3

Officially done our final project for CUAbroad in Rome!








Sketches

Some of my favorite sketches from my favorite places...

HMS Belfast (London)


Quirini Stampalia (Venice)


Castel Vecchio


Villa D'este


Trajan's Market

On one of our final group trips, we traveled to Trajan's Market. Site off of Trajan's forum, the markets are a large ruin complex in amazing condition. We spent several hours touring and even sketching.



Southern Italy

So for 5 days we traveled Southern Italy. Our teacher from CUA came to visit and joined us on our studies. We began in Naples and took small day trip to Capri and took a rare tour of Casa Malaparte. Before heading to Castelammare we stopped at Baia, Cuma, and Pozzouli. We visited Pompeii and Sorrento on our final day trips before returning back to Rome.
