This publication is for the use of the
students, faculty and friends of The International School of Painting, Drawing, and
Sculpture, in Umbria, Italy . We have tried to provide the
most accurate information possible. In Italy, however, schedules
change, museums close, strikes and religious holidays happen. In
the land of la dolce vita, it's
best to be flexible. Editor: Marc Servin. Email:
