THE 14TH CENTURY IN VENICE
The course aims to illustrate during the lessons and to deepen with the seminar some important episodes of the Venetian fourteenth century in the general context of the city: Palazzo Ducale (architecture and sculpture); public and private civil architecture, sculpture.

The main bibliography of general orientation will be provided at the beginning of the course and partly made available on the moodle platform; further bibliographical information will be provided to students after the choice of the topic for individual study. The materials (ppt) projected during the lessons will also be available on the moodle platform.
Students are invited to present a topic for individual study during the second period or in the final seminar. The topic exposed will be the subject of the written report to be submitted 1 week before the oral exam. The report will be discussed during the oral exam. The assessment will therefore take into account both the presentation in the classroom and the written report. The maximum evaluation will be given to works of particular originality, the subject of critical in-depth studies, exhibited with properties, presented in an edited written form, with a mature argumentative structure. A good evaluation will take into account the work carried out, the exhibition and the final draft, recognizing the elements acquired.

The course will be divided into two blocks. Not knowing at the present time the timetable and the distribution of the lessons, this organization currently proposes:
- in the first block (III period of the teaching calendar) lectures will be held by the teacher, making useful materials (literature and powerpoint) available from time to time on the MOODLE platform
- halfway through the course, a list of possible topics for individual study will be proposed, which must be exposed in the final seminar.
- visits will be organized during the first block (III period) (1 visit) and in the second (IV period) (1 visit)
- in the second block (IV period) other lectures by the teacher will be held and student seminars will be organized, hopefully to be held in 1 or 2 days.
