Speakers

Charlie Hall has known Italy intimately since 1965 when his father set up the excellent John Hall Venice course for gap year students who wish to become enlightened by many aspects of Venetian and Italian culture. He now runs the programme with his father and spends almost half of the year working in Italy. He is an accredited lecturer for The Arts Society and has designed courses for the Christie's Education 'Collecting and Great Collections' programmes and the Serpentine Gallery 'Collectors Circle' as well as for The Soho House group of members & clubs.

Charlie has now led many Italian tours for Kirker Holidays, to destinations including Rome, Florence and Venice, and in 2025 he will lead tours to the Palladian Villas of the Veneto, the summer opera festivals in Pesaro and Torre del Lago, as well as a new in-depth itinerary to Venice which includes a two-week stay in the city with a host of guest experts.
