Lost In The Italian Renaissance

As travel became ever more commonplace in the Italian Renaissance, so did a collateral phenomenon: getting lost. University of Chicago professor Niall Atkinson is fascinated by these moments. Join him for a tour of the dark corners of early modern Florence, Naples, and Rome, and hear the stories of sojourners disoriented by the architectural transformations of their urban environments.
