Dear photography lovers and patrons of the arts,

I am proud to announce the release of the 2025 Summer Session One Documentary Photography: Italy class book. At 150 pages, Annamo is Roman for Let’s Go!, is a pleasure to behold. The volume is rich in variety and sharp in perception, thanks to the class participants’ clever brains, quick wits, and indefatigable feet. Also, all those espressi certainly helped.

Çağla, Katherine, Molly, Cat, Bailey, Camille, Grace, and Chelsy—Rome may seem like a beautiful and distant dream at this point in the fall; however, by the time you are several pages into your book, you will undoubtedly hear the clanging of church bells and clinking of espresso cups, smell the glorious truffle pasta (that’s Orvieto, actually), and be transported back to our beloved Eternal City of summer 2025. The phrase “Experiential Learning” frequently pops up in academia, but now it probably makes much more sense after all that glorious gelato.

Your over-caffeinated-image-obsessed guide, Stephano Apicella, would like to invite you to the book release party on Thursday, October 30th, 5 pm in Keating 1st (just before the screening of The Exorcist at 6 pm). Come see your images on the big screen, billboard-sized, and enjoy all your smart & hard work. In the meantime, if you can’t wait, you can preview your entire book here. Enjoy!

Grazie mille!

 Stephano
