Art Restoration in Italy

My name is Ashley. I'm graduating this year with my Bachelors of Science in Art History. I just found out that I got accepted into the Post Baccleureate Certification program in Art Conservation at Studio Arts College International in Florence, Italy, for the 2017-2018 school year! Yay!

I was in Italy a couple years ago studying art history for a couple of weeks, and now I'm going back for a whole year!

While over there, I'm going to be learning how to preserve paintings, murals, and historical artifacts. That last one I'm particularly excited about.

Please, if you can, I really need some help getting over there and back. Anything helps.

I'm super passionate about art conservation and the preservation of cultural art and history. Any help you can give, no matter how little, makes a big difference not just to my educational goals, but the preservation of historic treasures to ensure they will still be around for our children and grandchildren to enjoy.
