Fellowships at Villa I Tatti (Italy)

Two fellowships at Villa I Tatti, just outside Florence. Deadline for both is: April 15 2011.

Craig Hugh Smyth Visiting Fellowship

The Craig Hugh Smyth Visiting Fellowship is designed for scholars in any field of Italian Renaissance studies who, because of their full-time occupations, do not have the research time that is normally enjoyed by university academics. Each year Villa I Tatti, The Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance Studies, offers a limited number of Fellowships for periods of three months. The selection committee pays special attention to the candidate’s record of publications, the strength of the proposed project, and its potential to yield original results. The project must represent advanced research in the Italian Renaissance, broadly defined as the period ranging from the 13th to the 17th centuries. Subjects covered include the architecture, history, literature, material culture, music, philosophy, religion, science, or visual arts of Italy. Applications would also be welcomed from candidates working on the transmission and circulation of ideas, objects, and people during the Renaissance, into and beyond the Italian peninsula, or the historiography of the Italian Renaissance, including the rebirth of interest in the Renaissance in later periods.

Each year I Tatti offers a limited number of Outreach Fellowships for periods ranging from three to six months. The selection committee pays special attention to the candidate’s curriculum vitae, the strength of the proposed project, and its potential to yield original results. The project must represent advanced research in the Italian Renaissance, broadly defined as the period ranging from the 13th to the 17th centuries.
