Tuesday, May 24th\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

After a late night of waiting for the sardine to burn in Piazza de Ferrari we had a slow morning at the villa. After lunch we headed downtown on the Ascensore di Castelletto Levante, the public elevator that saved us from walking down and back up many flights of stairs during our time in Genoa.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We visited the Via Garibaldi to Palazzo Bianco, one of the museums that is part of the Strada Nuova Museums. Palazzo Bianco is a 16th century building in the historic city center that was once the home of an important Genoese family and today houses many pieces of art and artifacts from the city\u2019s history.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We strolled down to the port after going to the museums to have an \u201capertivo,\u201d a pre-meal beverage and selection of food popular in Italian culture. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next to the restaurant there was a food truck selling different types of pesto and pasta where many of us bought some souvenirs!<\/p>\n

Friday, May 20th, Day 5<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the most exciting parts about living in Genoa for two weeks is the amount of events and festivals the city throws that we get to attend! This week specifically, Genoa showcased their art world with their Design Week. We visited dozens of local galleries and exhibits ranging from furniture layouts to nautical displays where the concept of \u201cspace\u201d was emphasized in every design. One gallery in particular hit home for us. Il Vicolo Galleria d\u2019arte is owned by Ambra Guadenzi whose husband teaches at Clemson University\u2019s School of Architecture here in Genoa. The gallery showcases art made by Emanuele Luzzati, a former resident of Castelleto near Clemson Architecture Foundation\u2019s villa. All six of us were able to gather for lunch together where we continued to indulge in Italy\u2019s fresh pasta, bread and gelato! Further exploring downtown Genoa, we stopped at a few shops to admire Italian fashion. We concluded our day with dinner cooked by our professor, Frances Ford, and fruit dessert prepared by Anna Gehring. As a fun bonus, we learned we absolutely love the whipped cream here! Italian food has yet to disappoint!<\/p>\n

Saturday, May 21st, Day 6<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Who knew coming to Italy that we\u2019d get to experience other country\u2019s culture traditions and festivals? Here in Genoa, on Saturday, May 21st, we had the opportunity to celebrate an annual festival dear to the town of Murcia, Spain. In fact, Murcia and Genoa are twin cities! Citizens from Murcia traveled over to their sister city to host the first international Burial of the Sardine, or Entierro de la Sardina. The people of Genoa and Murcia came together to throw a day of festivities, multiple of which we got to participate in. In the morning was the parade where over a million toys and pieces of jewelry were handed out to the children of Genoa, traditional Spanish and Italian cuisine was showcased in different piazzas throughout the day, and the night ended with the burning of a sardine sculpture and a beautiful fireworks display! Unfortunately, we were unable to attend the actual burning, although we tried! It happened to occur at 11:30 pm, and after a week of walking an average of 15-20k steps a day, we were too exhausted to stay out that late. Regardless, we were happy to celebrate all day long a fun festival alongside two countries! Bonus: we got to see fireworks from the terrace at our villa!<\/span><\/p>\n

Wednesday May 18, 2022:
\nToday the group woke up to a bright sunny day in Genoa. The morning began with having a nice breakfast in the garden while enjoying cappuccinos and freshly made bread. Piazza Sant\u2019Anna was first on the \u201cto-do\u201d list for the day.<\/p>\n

Close to the Clemson villa, Piazza Sant\u2019Anna is a square located in the quarter of Castelletto within Genoa. Sant\u2019Anna includes intact structures dating back from the 1600s and the students got to visit two of these deeply rooted historic buildings. The first building visited in the square was the church of Sant\u2019Anna (St. Anne), which is a typical Baroque style Genoa church. The second building visited in the piazza was Antica Framacia Sant\u2019Anna that dates back to the mid-17th century. It was the old pharmacy for the convent located within the piazza.<\/p>\n

Today ended with a delightful dinner made by one of our students with the help of some of her classmates. She prepared pasta with lettuce, olive oil, tomatoes, and spices, yum! Some of the pictures taken today by professor Frances Ford as well as the students can be found down below. We\u2019re excited for what is to come in their adventures!<\/p>\n

Thursday May 19, 2022:
\nToday was a fun-packed trip to Cinque Terre! This location includes five old villages on the Italian Riviera, which the group hit the ground running first thing this morning to catch the train. Each Italian Riviera village has its own unique style but all are stunning! Riomaggiore was the first of the five villages visited by train followed by Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza, and lastly Monterosso. While walking around these locations, the group explored churches, shops, scenic routes, and breathtaking views. Some of the pictures taken today by professor Frances Ford as well as the students can be found down below. Very exciting!<\/p>\n

Our eighth day in Genoa began with a visit to the Monumental Cemetery of Staglieno, or Cimitero Monumentale di Staglieno. The extensive nineteenth-century cemetery contains elaborate funerary monuments and in some cases, entire buildings, dedicated to their respective families. After roaming, we ate lunch in Piazza San Lorenzo and visited the Metropolitan Cathedral of Saint Lawrence. The Cattedrale di San Lorenzo is not only monumental and an example of gothic architecture, the bomb fired by a British battleship into the cathedral in February of 1941 and did not explode can still be found in the cathedral. The group then split up for each student to study their own piazza for our assigned project. While on the way back to the villa, we were lucky enough to see a decorative painter at work on the outside of a building in Piazza Ferrari. While Professor Ford and some students took the usual route back to the villa, some students tested out their understanding of the bus system in the city.<\/p>\n

On the last day of our first week in Genoa we took a field trip heading to Portofino with some stops along the way. We began by taking a train to Nervi where our first stop was the Wolfsoniana which is a museum that houses examples of Art Deco and Art Nouveau works.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The last stop on our list was Castello Brown which has been used since Roman times for everything from defense of the port, a private residence, to a house museum. We quickly learned that the grounds were closed this week for a private event. So we decided to move on in search of some food.<\/p>\n

As we perused the restaurants by the harbor, to our surprise, several\u00a0celebrities marched past us on their way to the private event which we learned was Kourtney Kardashian’s wedding and reception. Pictured here are Machine Gun Kelly and Mark Hoppus from Blink 182 along with his wife Skye.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This summer I was given the amazing opportunity to work with the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation in collaboration with Kevin and Laine Berry on putting their\u00a0house, the\u00a0James\u00a0Caine\u00a0Little\u00a0House\u00a0on the National Register of Historic Places. Significant under criterion \u201cC\u201d for its architecture, the\u00a0Little\u00a0House\u00a0is a Gothic Revival\u00a0house\u00a0in Louisville, Georgia. The\u00a0Little\u00a0House is a rare example of Gothic Revival architecture of its size and massing in a residential structure in the town of Louisville and throughout the southeast United States. The\u00a0Little\u00a0House\u00a0had a steeply pitched roof with three dormers across the front fa\u00e7ade and barge board trim along every eve of the\u00a0house. The\u00a0house\u00a0had a full facade front porch that wrapped around three-quarters of the\u00a0house, typical of Gothic Revival houses from the late nineteenth\u00a0century. In the interior, the massing consisted of a central hall passage with four rooms on the first and second floor with two additional ells added to the back of the\u00a0house on the first floor. Mr.\u00a0Little most likely added the ells during a renovation in the late nineteenth\u00a0century.<\/p>\n

During my time researching the\u00a0house\u00a0for the nomination, I was able to uncover several pieces of information that were not well known before. This information added to the understanding of the history of the\u00a0house\u00a0and property. My classes at Clemson and CofC\u2019s Graduate Program in Historic Preservation prepared me to be successful in my research. Upon my investigation of the interior and close examination of some of the timber elements, evidence pointed to the fact that the\u00a0house\u00a0was older than the purchase date.\u00a0 It was a long-held idea that Mr.\u00a0Little\u00a0built the house when he bought the property in 1875. However, the deed research I conducted proved otherwise. In the deed of conveyance from 1875 to Mr. Little,\u00a0 I discovered that the house was most likely already built, along with other structures. This explains the much earlier Greek Revival interior of the\u00a0house. My investigation also led me to focus on the southeast room. The interior of the room had\u00a0beaded clapboard of different widths on all four walls. This was the only part of the\u00a0house\u00a0that had hand-hewn lumber in the sill and joist members. The interior investigation suggested that this particular room was indeed older than the rest of the\u00a0house.<\/p>\n

On the evening of July 20th,<\/sup>\u00a0I got a message from a member of the Jefferson County Historical Society. She told me that the\u00a0house was struck by lightning and was on fire. The\u00a0Little\u00a0House\u00a0suffered irreparable damage. The\u00a0house\u2019s Gothic Revival features and most of the structure was completely destroyed. This was devastating to the historic preservation community and to the town of Louisville, Georgia. The\u00a0house\u00a0was important because of its rare example of Gothic Revival features, but now it is gone. However, I kept good documentation of the\u00a0house\u00a0in photographs for the national register nomination. With this information, future generations will learn about the historic architecture of the nineteenth\u00a0century in Louisville, Georgia. In addition to my photographs, I have a number of notes and files found during the course of my research. The destruction of the\u00a0Little\u00a0House\u00a0serves as a reminder of why the preservation and documentation of historic structures is important. While it is disappointing that the\u00a0Little\u00a0House\u00a0is now gone, the history of this\u00a0house\u00a0will live on in the archives and never be forgotten.<\/p>\n
