Consistent with the educational objectives of the Study Program in which it is inserted, the course aims to provide basic knowledge and understanding in the field of ARCHAEOLOGY AND HISTORY OF ISLAMIC ART I, with the support of advanced textbooks, and to enable the student to apply the acquired knowledge in a competent and reflective way, formulating judgments autonomously, communicating ideas, problems and reflections in a clear and correct way, and thus developing the skills necessary to undertake any subsequent studies. The aim of the course is a basic knowledge of the origin and formation of Islamic material culture and artistic expression, deepening both the transition from late antiquity and the pre-Islamic Iranian civilization accomplished during the first years of expansion from the Arabian Peninsula, and the consequent contributions of specific elements, from the plans to the iconography to the symbols. The student will also be informed about the history of Islamic archeology studies and the relationship between the two Mediterranean cultures (Christian and Islamic) in the Middle Ages.
