The Blind Eye
This podcast is for anyone who is curious about Italy’s artistic masterpieces but isn’t quite ready to commit to pursuing a degree in art history. Mike Manchester, American from Denver who has lived in Italy working with Study Abroad students for almost 2 decades discusses art with his friend and art history teacher, Antonella Filippone. Each week Antonella chooses a work of art. Mike asks the questions that many people are too afraid to ask. Together they discover and explore the fascinating messages that lie within Italy’s iconic masterpieces as well as some lesser known gems.
