So today was the first day of our entrance exam at the Accademia. Incase you were unaware (which I was until I arrived here), the The Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze is one of Europe’s oldest and best known schools for instruction in the fine arts. It was founded by Lorenzo de’ Medici The Magnificent, and get this--its first Direttore was Michelangelo. Wait, did you catch that? You know, the dude who carved the statue of David when he was 25 and also painted the Sistine Chapel ceiling? Ya, that's where I'm applying to go to school here. NO biggie.
Another bit of really cool info: our CSU program is the ONLY program in all of America that is linked with the Accademia, so we are the ONLY Americans that get to study there!
Man am I blessed to have such an opportunity.
