Programme
The course aims to study the stylistic development of the painter Antonio Allegri, known as Correggio (1489-1534), and to retrace his activity in its chronological development, taking into account his critical and figurative fortune and the major landmarks that have shaped the history of studies on his work. The course takes place in two non-separable modules and grants 12 CFU.Core Documentation

Type of delivery of the course
The course will consist of lectures, in-depth seminars, visits to museums in Rome and, hopefully, a study trip to Parma.Type of evaluation
The evaluation will consist of an oral examination for everyone; attending students may be asked to take a written test during the course of the lectures. Those students who wish to do so, whether attending or not, may attend the oral examination having prepared five or six questions, which they will put to the professor, designed on the basis of the studies made from the bibliography requested, the considerations made during the course, and the analysis of the power points that will be made available on the Teams channel. Evaluation will be made on the basis of the intelligence and relevance of the questions, and of the dialogue that will be established in response to the professor's answers.
