When: September 13, 2023
Where: St. Clement’s Episcopal Church, 1501 32nd Ave. S, Seattle 98144
Speaker: Rebecca Albiani
Topic: Pietro Vannucci, AKA il Perugino
Local art lecturer Rebecca Albiani will introduce us to Pietro Vannucci, known as il Perugino, who was called “the best master in Italy” in 1500. The frescoes he painted that year in Perugia’s Collegio del Cambio (see below) are among his masterpieces. The Galleria Nazionale dell’Umbria in Perugia, which houses a superb collection of his works, is hosting a landmark Perugino exhibition this spring in honor of the 500th anniversary of his death.
Rebecca Albiani has been an arts lecturer at the Frye Art Museum since 1997. She was a Graduate Lecturing Fellow at Washington’s National Gallery and a Fulbright Scholar in Venice. She received an MA from Stanford University and a BA from the University of California, Berkeley.
Beginning September 2023, the Frye Art Museum presents a new season of lectures by Rebecca Albiani, exploring masterpieces of world art, and providing pivotal context to better understand works on display at the Frye. All lectures will occur in person in the Frye Auditorium, and lecture recordings will be available to series passholders immediately following the lecture.
Second Thursdays, September 2023 – June 2024
In-Person: 11 am–12 pm Pacific Time, Auditorium

DANTE ALIGHIERI SOCIETY OF WASHINGTON
2023-2024 Season
Live Meeting COVID Guidelines
Even as COVID variants continue to plague the population, we have returned to offering live meetings for Dante this season. We’ve all been longing for a return to shared meals, and since this is foundational to Dante activities, we want to make it possible. Following the guidelines and regulations now in place by many workplaces, public venues and community groups, the Dante Board of Directors has agreed to the guidelines listed below as an acceptable plan to keep us as safe as possible when meeting in person.
1) Please do not attend if you have been exposed to COVID, or are experiencing any symptoms of illness. We will make best efforts to record the presentations so that those who cannot attend in person can enjoy them afterwards. There will also be a few meetings presented on ZOOM instead of live this season, for all to enjoy.
2) Masks are encouraged. Although no longer required, we encourage attendees to wear masks when not eating or drinking.
Thank you again for your understanding and observance of these guidelines. Let’s work together to control COVID!!!
