Architect Lavinia Nannini, originally from Rome, has spent her career engaged in architecture and urban design around the world, working with notable architects like Massimiliano Fuksas and Michael Sorkin.
Now returning back to her hometown of Rome and transitioning into teaching in higher education, Lavinia reflects on the art of seeing, the duality of antiquity and modernity in the Eternal City, and the future of architecture for burgeoning young architects.

Studying abroad this Fall 2024 at the Pantheon Institute, Connecticut College Junior, Ava Norris, talks about how her time in Rome has impacted her academic perspective and helped transform her sense of self.

Arianna Davis, 4th-year architecture student from Penn State University, discusses study abroad, experiential learning, and transforming spaces through creative architectural design.

Here at Pantheon Institute, our Fall semester kicks off with the Premio Piranesi, a unique design competition that grants students direct access to the Villa Adriana, one of the largest and most important pieces of Italian patrimony.

Hofstra University students investigate the culture, heritage, and history of Rome and Italy at large in a variety of multimedia pieces, one of which features Pantheon Institute founder Romolo Martemucci and his perspective on the impact of architecture on social identity and daily life over time.
