Expected learning outcomes (1)
1 - The student will have knowledge and understanding of the development of the archaeological sites in the Vesuvian area, especially Pompeii and Herculaneum. This objective will be achieved through the use of scientific texts and the reading of classics in the sector, also through the illustration of case studies and the presentation of the most recent discoveries in this field.
2 –The student will have the ability to apply their knowledge and understanding in order to demonstrate a professional approach on long-lasting phenomena, and will have adequate skills both to interpret events and to understand the developments of the Vesuvian cities. The student will be able to acquire knowledge and comprehension skills applied through direct experience on archaeological material and critical analysis of archaeological sources.

Expected learning outcomes (2)
3 - This kind of study will allow students to acquire the ability to collect and interpret data from archaeological sources through a specific methodology that will allow the student to acquire independent judgment with respect to historical-social, political and economic events.
4 - He will be able to communicate with properties and with appropriate terminology, but also in popular form, both orally and in written text, on themes of the archaeology of the Vesuvian cities, moreover through the methodological tools acquired he will be perfectly able to undertake subsequent studies in a conscious way.
5 - In addition to the traditional teaching, the student's continuous solicitation to intervene in the discussions during the lectures and in the illustration of the case studies, represents the most suitable way to achieve comprehension skills.

Learning objectives

The course aims to contribute to the development of the student's capacity for historical-critical reading of the contemporary architecture and industrial archaeology fields. The first part of the lessons will be focused on contemporary architecture. It will examine the theories, projects and the most significant protagonists of the architectural culture of the 19th and 20th centuries and of the first part of the 21st century. The second part will be dedicated to industrial archaeology, providing the tools for reading the different types of industrial sites, also identifying the problems regarding the conservation aspect.

Learning objectives

The course will provide students with a basic framework for the study of Western architecture, from the High Middle Ages to the late Barocco. Through a combination of lectures and guided fieldtrips the pupils will be introduced to the study of the periods under examination, of construction history, and of the most representative buildings, as well as architectonic trends and relative solutions in construction. Moreover, the course will propose a monographic seminar, the Architecture of Donato Bramante, with the intention of furnishing pupils with an example of in-depth historical analysis. The course will also offer basic methodological notions for historical and critical analysis of architectonic witnesses from the period, so as to provide the essential tools necessary for an active and concrete knowledge of historical architecture, an essential pre-requisite for conservation.

Knowledge and understanding:
the candidate should know and illustrate the main architectural events, the relative contexts and constructions, with the relative typological, stylistic, constructive solutions, with particular attention to the relationship between architecture and decoration.

Applying knowledge and understanding:
the candidate should be able to understand, analyze and illustrate also unknown buildings, referable to the architectural contexts treated, with a critical spirit.
To this end, during the course, the candidate is due to elaborate a historiographic analysis on an architecture chosen by the candidate, with could be discussed in the examination.

Making judgements:
the candidate should independently understand and identify the main architectural features and elements, even in the case of buildings not directly included in the program, however attributable to periods and contexts considered by the same. The candidate should also highlight the existing relationships between the building considered and contemporary, previous and subsequent architectures.

Communication skills:
Through guided visits and active lessons, the course aims to stimulate learning and communication skills, with particular attention to the use of the appropriate technical vocabulary, implemented through thematic lessons (architectural orders, construction materials and techniques, typological solutions).
The candidate should also illustrate the historical architectural events and their buildings, referring to the architectural solutions, typological systems and stylistic characters, with particular attention to the technical vocabulary.

Learning skills:
The candidates should be able to study independently, also in deep, the architectural events of the medieval and modern age not included within the program. Students should achieve the bases to undertake a first cataloging and research activities relating to historic buildings.

Learning objectives

Based on the general knowledge of Greek archeology and art history gained during the three-year degree course, the teaching aims to provide a thematic study on some specific manifestations of Greek material and visual culture. Topics will be addressed that will analyze the most different examples of architecture and the artistic and artisan production of the Greek world of Archaic, Classical and Hellenistic age. The main purpose is to highlight the fundamental contribution of archaeological research for the understanding of some important cultural and social phenomena of the ancient world, in the framework of a methodological approach based on a careful analysis of textual (literary and historical) and contextual (archaeological and historical-artistic) data. Among the various issues that can be addressed, particular attention it will be paid to those connected with the archeology of cult and ritual practices.
