I
am particularly grateful to my friend Christopher
Kleinhenz who examined some old records in the Office
of International Programs at the University of Wisconsin
in order to ascertain the titles of courses and
the name of professors who taught them at the two
Villas over a period of four or five years.
My
thanks go to Raymond Grew of the University of Michigan
for sending me a copy of his 1983 article entitled
"Michigan and Wisconsin at Villa Boscobello",
and for his permission to publish it here in its
entirety.
I
am grateful to Mignonette Yin Cheng of the University
of Michigan for her permission to reproduce some
watercolors of Villa Corsi Salviati from her book
Watercolors of Italy (University of Michigan
Press, Ann Arbor, 1996).
My
thanks also go to Beverly Turner of the University
of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and
Urban Planning (TCAUP) for providing the names of
professors from the College who directed the architecture
studio at the Florence Program over the years.
Last,
but far from being the least, my heartfelt gratitude
is for Portia Prebys, President of the American
Association of College and University Programs in
Italy (AACUPI), for confirming the date of the passage
of the law by the Italian Government conferring
tax-exempt status to the Florence Program.
