Historic Preservation and Sustainable Design in the Etruscan Hill Towns of Central Italy—this program includes 36 AIA-approved HSW Learning Units. Stephen Day and Nancy Josephson are leading a new edition of their exciting 10-day program based in Civita, Perugia and Siena for May 10-20, 2022 that will focus on architectural preservation, sustainability, and modern design interventions in several phenomenal Etruscan hill towns, including extraordinary connections with Italian designers, engineers, cultural leaders and other compatriots. This program is not only for architects but also others interested in a deep dive into architectural preservation, art history, and local culture in several ancient but vital Etruscan hill towns. Using Civita as the base camp, with overnight trips to key locations with historic hotels, participants will explore important preservation work and the protection of cultural treasures in hill towns such as Assisi, Perugia, Tarquinia, Tuscania, Orvieto, Pienza, Cortona and Siena, in addition to Civita. For more information, the new catalog will be issued soon, but is substantially the same program and itinerary as in the October 2021 program book, and you can download that Program Summary book here.

The "Historic Preservation and Sustainable Design in the Etruscan Hill Towns of Central Italy" program for May 10-20, 2022 is nearly full, with only two spaces remaining in this unique program. Please contact us soon at programs@civitainstitute.org if you are interested in reserving a spot for the May 2022 program.

More details will follow on these and other programs for 2022, so stay tuned.
