Neighbors, Join Pittsburgh Theological Seminary (616 N. Highland Ave.) for "Recovering the History of Florence, Layer by Layer," a free archaeology lecture Wed., April 19 at 7:30 p.m. Franklin Toker, professor of the history of art and architecture at the University of Pittsburgh, is well-known in the area for his work on the architecture of the 'Burgh and region. During this event he'll discuss excavations he conducted from 1969 to 1980 under and around the Florence Duomo and Baptistery, landmarks of medieval Italian architecture. The excavations and his subsequent research in the documentary and visual history of Florence have illuminated the architectural and social history of Santa Reparata, the original cathedral on the site, and established its role as the center of an ecclesiastical complex with significant physical, social, and spiritual impact on medieval Florence. The Kelso Museum of Near Eastern Archaeology will be open from 6:00-7:15 p.m. and after the lecture. Get all the details: http://www.pts.edu/Archaeology-Lectures.
