[AHIS W3938] The Roman Circle: 1495-1527

Don't be scared away by this man's accent! The half of the class that dropped after the first day because of Benelli's heavy Italian accent really missed out. He's a heck of a smart guy -- he speaks five languages, knows basically everything about Italian Renaissance architecture, and about just about everything else besides. You can come to him with just about any question and get an incredibly well-informed and in-depth answer. He also cares a lot about his students and really wants every single person to get interested in the subject and to excel. Although there are probably better lecturers in the department, Benelli was a super nice guy, really encouraged me to get excited about my paper, and was available to meet with me whenever I wanted. Definitely a good class.
