Very much enjoy Dr. Alessandra's lectures on Florence. This time it was the Church of Santo Spirito. Rich history and arts presented in an informative and entertaining manner. Thank you!
The history and detail were interesting. Hope to see in person someday!
It was an amassing presentation , well prepared and easily to engage as if one is really in Florence
I have participated in more than 30 Context Conversations (5 with Dr. Becucci) and can confidently say that Dr. Becucci is definitely one of the top 5 Context scholars. She give a well organized, thoughtful, detailed-but-not-too-detailed presentation laden with history and beautiful photos. Do not miss her tours of the Uffizi!
Dr. Becucci is an engaging speaker who delivers a thorough explanation of her topic and is very well prepared with anecdotes and facts and historical references. Wonderful!
