Scholarship Description: 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. Scholars can also apply to work 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. It must be possible
for applicants to carry out most of their research in Florence with the
resources available in the city and at I Tatti. Applicants should discuss how
their project relates to their earlier work and note that preference is given
to scholars embarking on a new project rather than polishing a dissertation.
Special consideration may be given to candidates without regular access to
research materials and facilities available in Italy. Renewals or repeats of an
I Tatti Fellowship are not granted.
