Description
This fellowship, offered by Villa I Tatti (The Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance Studies), supports scholars, librarians, archivists, and data science professionals whose research bridges traditional disciplines and digital technology. Projects should focus on any aspect of the Italian Renaissance (14th–17th centuries), including transnational connections, and must employ digital tools such as mapping, textual analysis, visualization, or the semantic web. The program is residential, requiring fellows to live in Florence and participate actively in the center’s scholarly community. Fellows benefit from access to the Biblioteca Berenson, a vibrant intellectual environment, and dedicated time for research.
