Pardon my cross-posting this message: After about five years of scholarly research in art history, I am coming back to my first love which is art education. I used to lecture in French, English and Italian. However, I haven't spoken Dante's tongue in about five years. It is rusty and I need some help in bringing it back to operative condition again. I live in NYC and would like to got to the Met (e.g.) in the company of an Italian speaker who COULD CONVERSE ABOUT ART (painting, sculpture as well as architecture), correct my vocabulary, my grammar and pronunciation. The number and frequency of these visits will depend on how fast my fluency is restored. Please send your response to my personal e-mail address [log in to unmask] Grazie mille! Marie Forest Hills, NY
