Discover the fascinating history of music and travel through the different periods, styles and sounds that have shaped the musical world we know today. From the earliest musical traditions and the great composers of the Baroque, Classical and Romantic periods to the revolutionary sounds of the 20th century and contemporary music, we'll explore how music has evolved throughout history. We'll discover the defining characteristics of each period, study its most important composers and musical figures, and explore the historical and cultural contexts in which they lived and worked. We'll look beyond the music itself, understanding their lives, their ideas, their masterpieces and the compositional techniques that made their work so distinctive. We'll listen to and analyse important musical works, learning how to recognise different styles, understand their structures and appreciate the artistic ideas behind them. This course is designed for anyone who loves music. Whether you're a conservatory student looking to deepen your knowledge, a musician wanting to understand the historical background of your repertoire, or simply a passionate music lover curious about the stories behind the sounds, you're very welcome. No advanced musical knowledge is required, just an interest in music and a willingness to explore its history. More than a history lesson, this is a journey through the sounds, ideas and people that have shaped music across the centuries. Available in both English and Spanish.

I’m Eleonora, a curator, writer and art historian living in Rome. I’m currently completing my master’s degree in medieval art, but my curiosity goes far beyond it. I love modern and contemporary art too, and I’ve curated contemporary art exhibitions. My favorite thing is standing in front of a work, whether it’s a mosaic in Santa Maria in Trastevere or a contemporary installation, and slowly working out what it’s telling me. That’s what I’d like to teach you. In my lessons we look at art together and ask simple questions: What am I looking at? How was this made? Why does it look like this, and not like the painting next to it? Little by little you start recognizing styles. We can follow your interests: a city you’re about to visit, a period, a single artist, or the whole story. I share images on screen, we compare works side by side, and I’ll answer every “why” you have. You don’t need any background. Some of my favorite conversations about art have been with people who’d never opened an art book.

Teaching through lectures and discussions accompanied by representative images from different periods of art history. We will discuss the composition of images, the main characteristics of different movements and styles, the meaning behind their iconography, and the historical context in which they emerged. We will discuss the history of Western art from antiquity to the present day. We won't limit ourselves to Europe! We will also discuss pre-Columbian and American art. My class is aimed at anyone interested in learning about art history, whether for personal enrichment or as a supplement to a school course.
