Thanks to the College of Wooster’s Copeland Fund awarded to seniors for their Independent Study, I had the chance to plan my own visit to Sybil’s favorite and most visited location: Rome, Italy.
In December 2018, I retraced Sybil’s footsteps in Rome. I had the opportunity to walk the same streets and visit the same locations, recreating some of her pictures and recording the whole experience in a travel journal of my own.
