Today, we had a field trip to Florence to meet with the Art Recovery division of the Carabinieri Art Squad, the Italian federal police. We then spent the rest of the day exploring the beautiful city of Florence! Upon leaving, we walked through the Boboli Gardens, and then through parts of the Palazzo Pitti where I attempted to convince a few classmates that they NEEDED to buy this house for us, but none of them went for it. After bombarding several of the officers with tons of questions and hearing several stories of how they recovered stolen art from around the world, we went out onto their terrace and viewed Florence from a whole different angle and it was absolutely gorgeous (see photo above). He informed us of all of the duties the Carabinieri completed, which was an extensive list that included working with other countries to recover stolen art and to include any stolen art in a very impressive and expansive database. Unfortunately, he only spoke Italian, so Professor Calboli translated for us. I was excited to find out that the Carabinieri office was located inside the Boboli Gardens, which I didn’t get a chance to go see on my last trip to Florence. Along the walk to the Carabinieri, we stopped to grab a cappuccino and then proceeded our walk again. We quickly began our walk to the other side of Florence from the train station, where we decided to walk into traffic a few times while following the people in front of us. We started today extremely early for us and arrived in Florence around 8:30 a.m. Professors Irene Calboli and Megan Carpenter, co-director of CLIP, teach this summer course that focuses on experiences as well as lectures.Ĭheck out all the daily student blog posts The Aggie Law students explore the surrounding area, including Siena, Assisi, and Florence, birthplace of the Renaissance, to tour historic and cultural treasures, wineries, and world-class museums.
