AUTONOMY OF JUDGEMENT THE STUDENT IS GOING TO - AUTONOMOUSLY CONDUCT THE ANALYSIS OF A MEDIEVAL MONUMENTS/WORKS OF ART, PROPOSING COMPARISONS WITH OTHER ARTEFACTS AND MANAGING THE ART-HISTORICAL AND HISTORICAL INFORMATION NECESSARY TO UNDERSTAND THE ROLE AND THE CHOICES MADE BY ARTISTS AND PATRONS; - COMPARE MEDIEVAL MONUMENTS/WORKS OF ART EVALUATING CULTURAL EXCHANGES IN SPACE AND TIME. COMMUNICATION SKILLS THE STUDENT IS GOING TO ACQUIRE PROPERTY OF LANGUAGE AND EXPRESSION, MAKING USE OF SPECIFIC TERMINOLOGY COMMONLY USED IN THE INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE. LEARNING SKILLS THE STUDENT IS GOING TO STRENGTHEN HIS OR HER LEARNING AND ANALYTICAL SKILLS THROUGHOUT THE STUDY OF SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY, THE USE OF DIGITAL TOOLS, THE AUTONOMOUS AUTOPTIC ANALYSIS OF MONUMENTS/WORKS OF ART AND MUSEUMS. |

| THE COURSE AIMS TO OUTLINE THE MAIN FEATURES OF THE HISTORY OF MEDIEVAL ART SELECTED FROM THE EARLY CHRISTIAN PERIOD TO THE LATE MIDDLE AGESS, AND TO ADDRESS SOME GENERAL PROBLEMS OF METHOD AND PERIODIZATION. SOME OF SOME OF THE MOST REPRESENTATIVE WORKS OF THE DIFFERENT PERIODS AND CULTURES WILL BE SELECTED AND ANALYSED, FOLLOWING A CHRONOLOGICAL PROGRESSION FROM LATE ANTIQUITY TO THE LATE MIDDLE AGES, AND TOUCHING VARIOUS AREAS OF EUROPE AND THE MEDITERRANEAN COUNTRIES. PARTICULAR ATTENTION WILL BE GIVEN TO THE AREA OF SOUTHERN ITALY, UNDER LONGOBARD, NORMAN, SWABIAN AND ANGEVIN DOMINATION, ENCOURAGING STUDENTS TO CARRY OUT AUTONOMOUS IN-SITU ANALYSES OF MONUMENTS AND WORKS OF ART. THE COURSE THUS AIMS TO PROVIDE A SOLID FRAMEWORK OF THE MAIN FACTS OF THE HISTORY OF MEDIEVAL ART, SUFFICIENT TO PROVIDE THE NECESSARY KNOWLEDGE BASE BOTH FOR FUTURE IN-DEPTH STUDY OF THE SPECIFIC SUBJECT AND FOR THE CONTINUATION OF THE DEGREE COURSE. |
