About the programme
Designed for scholars studying transnational exchanges between Italy and other cultures (such as Latin American, Mediterranean, African or Asian) in the broadly defined Renaissance, roughly the 14th to 17th centuries. Fellows hold a residential term of 4 or 6 months in Florence, with a few awards each year. The page says the 2027/2028 application link will be posted in August, so the application itself is not yet open.
