la man che ubbidisce all’intelletto,” “the hand that obeys the intellect.” Our courses in Tuscany offer an opportunity to draw and experience the landscape surrounding Florence with its luminous Mediterranean light. At the Pensione Bencistà we offer beginning to advanced instruction in the technical skill of drawing and pastel painting, and, through our rich itinerary, the deep and lasting intellectual stimulation people across the ages have experienced in Italy as they gazed on famous works of art and architecture and pondered their history.
