RENAISSANCE,
A BRIDGE to EUROPE
Welcome to the exhibition “Renaissance, a bridge to Europe”!
We are the students of the Blaise Pascal scientific high school in Busto Arsizio and of the bilingual section of the high school in via Ladislava Sáru in Bratislava.
We are together thanks to the Erasmus project created by the European Union in which our schools participated.
And now here we are! We are pleased to present you the fruit of our study and to tell you our beautiful story of collaboration and coexistence.
Our common work centered on the history of the Renaissance and culminated in visiting the cities of Busto Arsizio, Milan and Florence. This online exhibition was created to tell what we have discovered and experienced by examining elements common to Italian and Slovak history.

A genius at work. the relation between theory and practice
The Renaissance man discovers himself protagonist and advocate of unprecedented works never seen before, thanks to his intelligence and his human awareness.
