Quanquam lingua latina in Europa orta est, ubique fere terrarum in usu fuit. Etiam in utraque America ab iesuitis et eorum discipulis (inter alios) usurpata est. Sed raro in scholis scripta de his terris, quae haud ita pridem ab europaeis inventae erant, leguntur: quam ob rem Lucia consilium haec opera legendi cepit. Tractabimus locos de Civitatibus Foederatis, de Mexico, de Brasilia, inter alios, qui a saeculo Christophori Columbi usque ad tempus nostrum scripti sunt.

Pretium solvendum: €100 discipulis universitatis vel licei / €150 ceteris.

Quando: singulis diebus Martis, ab hora 17:30 usque ad horam 18:45 in Italia, a die XIV mensis aprilis ad diem XVI mensis iunii. 

Modo decem discipuli accipientur.

Although Latin originated in Europe, it was used almost everywhere. Even in both of the Americas (North and South) it was used by Jesuits and their students, among others, but texts about these lands, more recently known to Europeans, are rarely read in class. For this reason, Lucia has decided to read some of these works. We will discuss passages about the United States, Mexico, and Brasil, among other countries, which were written from the time of Christopher Columbus to our own age.

Price: €100 for high school or university students / €150 for everyone else.

When: every Tuesday 17:30-18:45 in Italy, from the 14th of April to the 16th of June.

No more than ten students will be accepted. 

Hoc in cursu, Lucia, quae ipsa carmina inter alia ope artis memoriae ediscere solet, locos qui non modo ad hanc artem, verum etiam ad memoriam apud antiquos et recentiores pertinent, cum discipulis leget. Opera auctoris ad Herennium, Ciceronis, Augustini, inter alios, tractabimus.

Pretium solvendum: €100 discipulis universitatis vel lycei / €150 ceteris.

Quando: Diebus Martis hora octava cum dimidia, ab die sexto mensis octobris 2026 usque ad diem octavum mensis decembris.

Modo decem discipuli accipientur.

In this course, Lee, who herself is accustomed to memorizing poems and other material using the Art of Memory (also called Memory Palaces in English, for example on the television series Sherlock), will read with the students passages from Latin books not only relating to the Art of Memory but also to memory more generally in antiquity and more recent times. We will discuss works by the author of the ad Herennium, Cicero, Augustine, among others.

Price: €100 for high school or university students / €150 for everyone else.

When: Tuesdays at 8:30 CET, from the 6th of October 2026 to the 8th of December.
