On Tuesday and Wednesday I had my orientation with the Fulbright program. Only three other Fulbrighters will reside in Rome, as the rest are off to different cities throughout the peninsula.
Most of the group (there are 21 of us in total) at dinner
Left to right: Clelia working in psychology; Liz, an archaeologist; Elinor, a Baroque cellist; Ashley another art historian; and in the center is Diana, who is working in modern poetry and translation
With Michael (a musicologist) and Katie (an art historian). We are the Romans!
On the second day of the orientation we were treated to a walking tour of the Garbatella neighborhood on the outskirts of the city center. Apparently the area was built under King Vittorio Emanuele III as a place of affordable housing for the lower and working classes.
The group listening to our guide with varying degrees of enthusiasm
