Given the need, the Faculty of Theology of Central Italy has instituted a two-year master’s course, which requires a licentiate, in the theology and architecture of churches.

«Sometimes, good architects are not trained to build a church, as they do not know its profound meaning,» explained the director of the master’s program, professor Severino Dianich.

The program offers a theological-liturgical as well as historical-architectonic formation in 500 class hours, with world-renowned experts.

Registration is open until Sept. 30. The course begins in November. More details are at www.ftic.it/master/index.html.
