Villa I Tatti, The Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance Studies, offers a new Outreach fellowship is designed to reach out to Italian Renaissance scholars from areas that have been under-represented at the center, especially those that live and work in Asia, Latin America, the Iberian Peninsula, and the Mediterranean basin (except Italy). For this and ALL I Tatti fellowships, the Italian Renaissance is now 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."
