"Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it", or so someone once said. But that's not the reason we learn about history - it's because history is rich with incredible stories, characters and places that not only tell us so much about who we are and how we came to be in this world, but they're just plain fascinating. Whether you're interested in Italian history, the history of photography or exploring history of an area through walks, there are classes with people all interested in sharing the journey through the past with you.
