AUR Viewbook in PDF - The American University of Rome

Logo
AUR’s logo is derived from the design of the distinctive paving pattern
of Michelangelo’s Piazza del Campidoglio on the Capitoline Hill
in Rome. Its twelve-pointed geometry has a multitude of meanings.
Primary among them is the radiant role of Rome as the center of
the world, the Caput Mundi, as the ancients fashioned it and as the
Renaissance revived it.
The suggestion is still compelling in the dynamic unity of this place
as a symbol of the millennial traditions of art, politics, science and
culture that are the basis of the liberal education at The American
University of Rome.

cover
The use of an Italian tile on the background of our cover reminds us of the Middle Ages when it became popular to use ceramic tiles in architecture. The tiles
were mostly hand decorated majolica, a tin glazed earthenware that was introduced to Italy by Moorish Spain through the island of Majorca. Italian artisans
borrowed from terracotta tiles prevalent in the late Roman Empire and from Islamic tiles that had also been introduced to Europe to create beautiful Italian tiles
that you will have the opportunity to see as a student of AUR as you explore this beautiful country.
