For the students, it was not only a chance to experience Fine Arts for the first time, but also Rome.

The aggressive attack on the Central European University (CEU) at Budapest by the Hungarian government concerns us all. It is a transparent attempt to pervert democracy in an EU country. All Europeans and all academics should support President, Michael Ignatieff, and his colleagues.

This unique gallery, located in the heart of Rome near the Tiber River, exhibits the work of emerging Italian artists. A boring 鈥渨hite walls鈥 environment? This gallery is filled with the spirit of art! The pieces on exhibit are created by artists using different techniques and media; shows include sculpture, photography, and many styles of painting. Another singularity is that the gallery cooperates with an antique store, 鈥淎ntiquariato Valligiano鈥 which exhibits rare and antique furniture mixed in with the works of art. This adds an atmosphere of comfort and increases a visitor鈥檚 immersion in the world of Art.
