Today's guide on a virtual tour of memorable places and spaces on and around campus: Jason Mazzone, the Albert E. Jenner Jr. Professor of Law, director of the UI’s Program in Constitutional Theory, History and Law and holder of academic degrees from Harvard (bachelor’s in social studies/doctor of law), Stanford (master’s in sociology) and Yale (doctor of science of law).

Allerton Park and Retreat Center in any season to walk my dogs.
Pizzeria Antica. I often host visiting professors from Italy and I always take them there.
We start with the Pizzeria Margherita because it’s the most simple item on the menu: if that’s good — and it always is — everything else will be wonderful.
