Darlene Marwitz

While a graduate architecture student in historic preservation studies, Darlene's passion for Italy was ignited by her first trip to Italy. Following a teaching assistantship and coursework in England one summer, she boarded a train with a friend for Barcelona and then on to Vicenza where she arrived one hot August evening. From the moment of arrival, she was smitten by the world of Palladian villas and palazzi and the sensuous landscape of rural Italy.
