When we walk around the capital, we don’t think about the fact that the Italian Renaissance had a great influence on the architecture of Moscow. For example, the white-stone Assumption Cathedral, which was built in the likeness of the temples of Constantinople, was built by a talented architect from Italy, Aristotle Fioravanti. The master was ordered to simply copy the cathedral, but he did add something of his own.
Thus the Cathedral of the Assumption had patterned pilasters and an arcature belt, typical for the architecture of the Italian Renaissance. As a result, the cathedral began to have eclectic features inherent in all Moscow architecture.
A person who understands such a subject is considered in society as an erudite, developed and interesting interlocutor.

John-Henry Till
Lecturer on the History of Art course
"Hello everyone!
My name is John-Henry Till, and I have been teaching English as a foreign language for 11 years.
I did my initial teacher training in Italy. I then received my post-graduate teaching certificate and diploma in International Education from the University of Nottingham, England. At the same time, I continued to gain experience in teaching in international schools and in teaching associations abroad.
I taught in Italy for 3 years, in Spain for 1 year, and in Russia for 7 years, as well as teaching in summer schools in Austria, Bulgaria, and the USA. I have a wealth of experience teaching both children and adults. I get great pleasure from helping others to learn and develop!
Currently, in addition to teaching, I am involved in theater group and local choir, where I manage to train my voice to make it even clearer and easier to hear.
I hope you enjoy discovering new things in an English language art history course with me! Take care and all the best."
