L'Accademia di Belle Arti of Perugia on YouTube

This charming short created by the students of the  Academy of Fine Arts of Perugia is seen on  YouTube. You take a very bumpy video ride through the streets of Perugia straight to the doors of the Academy, which swing open to let you in on what's going on with the very hip students who learn there.

 Professor Giuliano Giuman is one of the instructors.

How to Twitter 101

Dave Barnhart: Micro-blogging and Twitter 101 (5th session of Social Media Magic U.).

I can't wait for the second,  more in-depth session. You are going to be seeing Umbria Holiday - Il Convento Mincione http://www.thisoldconvent.com/ everywhere!!
