In the first two weeks of the semester, third-year architecture students participated in a “Mapping Rome” workshop led by University of Oregon Architecture Professor James Tice. Students worked in groups across Piazza del Popolo, Piazza Navona, Piazza di Spagna, Piazza del Campidoglio, and Piazza Farnese, exploring the architectural and urban elements that make each space unique.

Through Nolli diagrams, vista sketches, and watercolours, students were encouraged to slow down and truly observe the piazza, not simply photograph what they saw, but draw it. The workshop highlighted the importance of drawing as a way to strengthen the connection between the eye, hand, and mind, while examining details such as elevation, typography, street furniture, natural elements, and other features that give Rome its geography and sense of place.

The students analyzed and compiled their observations into diagrams and presented their findings to a panel of guest critics across different American institutes around Rome. This workshop is also part of the undergraduates’ first studio design project, aiming to bring lessons from Rome’s urban fabric into their own architectural work.

We are incredibly appreciative and honored to have Professor Tice with us to share his knowledge, insight, and passion for understanding the city through mapping and drawing! taken in Rome, Italy by @und.rome

The perfect place to visit for Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering (AME) students in Rome doesn't exist...
…or does it?

Our AME students visited Centrale Montemartini, Rome's first public power plant, built in 1912 and transformed into a museum in 1997.

Today, its original industrial machinery creates an extraordinary backdrop for sculptures, mosaics, and archaeological artifacts from the Capitoline Museum Collections.

Have you ever heard of this place?

Rising fourth-year Madison Chambers spent her summer immersed in two of the School of Architecture’s ongoing research initiatives in Rome, funded by an NDRome summer 2026 Global Professional Experience (GPE) internship.

The first half of her internship centered on the Ermoupolis Project, studying Neoclassical architecture on the Greek island of Syros with a focus on the Town Hall. Madison contributed a drawing to a forthcoming book on the project, publishing alongside an exhibition that opened in Syros on August 1, and helped prepare the exhibition itself.

Her second phase turned to the Mausoleum of Hadrian, known today as Castel Sant’Angelo, part of a multiyear undergraduate research effort building toward a major publication on the monument’s original architecture. Madison produced on-site documentation and drawings and joined archaeological site visits across Italy.

“Working on the Ermoupolis Project in Greece as well as research and documentation at Castel Sant’Angelo with numerous visits to historic sites across Italy, I was able to experience Rome in a new way,” Madison said. “Thank you to Professor [Vitti] and the School of Architecture for this wonderful summer experience.”

This group photo, taken during the @europeanacademyofreligion conference, brings together the participants of the 2026 Rome Summer Seminars on Religion and Global Politics and Michael Driessen, Director of the MA in International Affairs at John Cabot University, who organized the program in collaboration with Notre Dame Rome, marking the conclusion of another successful edition.

Drawing on Rome’s distinctive religious and geopolitical landscape, the two-week program brought together graduate students from around the world working at the crossroads of religion and global politics through public panels, expert lectures, seminars with leading international scholars and members of the diplomatic community, site visits, writing workshops, and a policy dialogue.

Many thanks to all the participants, faculty, guest speakers, and partner institutions whose engagement made this year's seminars such a stimulating and rewarding academic experience.

This year’s final review project for third-year students on the Rome campus involved designing a villa in Mandela, a town not far from Tivoli, in the Lazio region. Students either designed a spa and event hall or proposed an alternative use for the site. They drew inspiration from the places they visited in Italy during the 2025–2026 academic year including villas in Rome and its environs like Villa Aldobrandini, Villa Falconieri, and Villa Medici.

The final reviews were followed by an end-of-year exhibition, during which the students’ achievements were celebrated and the Nellie Wynn Kervick Award was presented to the student who most distinguished themselves in the art of freehand drawing. This year, the award was presented to Nolan Waters. Congratulations, Nolan! The exhibition was also an opportunity to bid farewell to the students who spent a semester (March/MADU students) or an academic year (third-year undergraduates) in Rome before returning to South Bend, where they will continue their studies. taken in Rome, Italy by @und.rome
