Harvard I Tatti Berenson Fellowship 2027 Details

This Fellowship is designed for scholars who explore “Italy in the World.” Projects should address the transnational dialogues between Italy and other cultures during the Renaissance, broadly understood historically to include the period from the 14^th to the 17^th century.

Scholars working in all the fields supported by I Tatti—architecture and the arts, history, philosophy, literature, music and history of science—are encouraged to apply.

Each year, a limited number of activities organized at I Tatti are reserved for the Fellows, and they are expected to join the wider community at conferences, lectures, and concerts.

This is a residential fellowship of 4 or 6 months in length. Up to four fellowships will be awarded every year
