Professor Paola Martani’s stint at Jamia Millia Islamia resulted in a book, encapsulating 2,000 years of Italian art and culture

While there have been many books, films and documentaries on Italy and its culture, Martani says this book is different as it weaves in a commentary on the outcome of many historical events.

Professor Paola Martani

It’s rare to have college students so invested in an elective course that the end result is a book. But that’s what happened when Professor Paola Martani from Italy started teaching an elective course on the Art and Culture of Italy, at the AJK Mass Communication Research Centre, Jamia Millia Islamia. The book coming out of the course is titled The Art and Culture of Italy: From the Roman Empire to Present Day (Harper Collins; Rs 1,499), which has been put together by Martani and her students.
