Storing Sanctity: Sacristy Reliquary Cupboards in Late Medieval and Renaissance Italy - I will conduct research for my doctoral dissertation on late medieval and Renaissance reliquary cupboards in the Veneto. Large collections of valuable relics and reliquaries were often stored safely within wall-mounted cupboards in the sacristy that were enhanced by

complex visual programs carried out in painting, sculpture and intarsia. My project addresses the development, iconography and function of this previously neglected aspect of the sacred environment by examining the artistic, ritual and devotional significance of Trecento andQuattrocento reliquary cupboards.

The Copyist and the Copied: Nicolas Poussin in Seventeenth-Century Rome - The overarching goal of my research is to challenge the processing of Nicolas Poussin’s image by seventeenth-century art academies through an analysis of the nature of imitation in Baroque

Rome. This involves three phases of research: gaining further knowledge of Poussin as a copyist, questioning how Poussin evolved into an artist that is copied, and culminating with the relationship between those copies in Rome and their legacy in the French academic tradition.

Friars in the City: Mendicant Architecture and Pious Practice in Medieval Verona (c. 1220-c. 1375) - My project examines how the mendicant churches of Verona responded to the social, economic, and religious structures of the medieval city. I explore how these sites were shaped by local pressures and circumstances, such as population distribution,

economic practices, religious rituals, and urbanization. In doing so, I offer a new reading of Verona’s mendicant convents as part of a social process, proposing that these churches and their decoration reflect an intimate linkbetween the friars and local religious and socio-economic institutions (such as the commune, the confraternity, and the merchant class).

The Sala Bologna in the Vatican Palace: Art and Astronomy in Counter-Reformation Rome - This dissertation will examine the fresco decoration of Gregory XIII’s Sala Bologna painted in the Vatican Palace in 1575 as a case study for reassessing the relationship between

art, science, and spirituality in early modern Italy. Through the on-site examination of relevant imagery and archival documents, this project will reconcile a worldview that embraced science and religion as an indissoluble whole, but which we today have divided into separate enterprises.

Keyboard Seconda Prattica in the Copper-Engraved Toccatas of Girolamo Frescobaldi - My project examines the copper-engraving publication of Frescobaldi’s toccatas, issued in seven editions (1615-1637) by Nicolò Borboni. The florid passagework and daring harmonicdissonances of this opus epitomize the avant-garde musical idiom of the seconda pratica emerging in the seicento. Intended to arouse the affections, the revolutionary notational language of these toccatas exploits the expressive

potential of engraving. With movable type, the composer/printer is greatly restricted, whereas with engraving anything notated in manuscript form may be reproduced identically. To consider how engraving impacted the transmission and dissemination of Baroque stylistic features, not adequately represented in typography, I analyze these toccatas’ transmission comparing them to manuscript and typographic transmissions of other Frescobaldi toccatas.

Affinities and Contrasts: Researching and Performing Italian Baroque and Modern Cello - Through studying and performing the solo cello works originating in 17th C. Italy, and their modern Italian counterparts, I will explore ways in which these compositions spawn, adhere to,

ordefy trends,and influence the formanduseof the cello. In Como, I will study with celebrated cellist baroque Paolo Beschi and study works by modern composers, such as Berio, Sciarrino, and Sollima, who have themselves re-organized baroque-contemporary connections.

An Untraditional Career Path: Studying Piccolo and Opera Repertoire - I plan to study at the L’Accademia Italiana Del Flauto in Rome, Italy. My concentrations will be the solo baroque piccolo repertoire and orchestral opera repertoire while working with specialists such as

Nicola Mazzanti. I will frequent productions at the Teatro Dell’Opera di Roma. And I will collaborate with students at the Conservatorio Santa Cecilia to perform a program of three Vivaldi piccolo concertos with accompaniment at a series of venues in Italy.

Tracing Voices: Poetic Anthologies and the Transmission of Trecento Song - Secular music-making in medieval Florence was an interdisciplinary endeavor. Music was created by composers who were at the same time poets, clerics, intellectuals, and even merchants. The product of a multi-faceted cultural environment,

Trecento song relies on the interplay between music and poetry to create meaning. My project seeks to bridge disciplinary boundaries between music and literature, focusing on the literary identity of song texts through an analysis of their placement in text-only poetic manuscripts.

A Woman Scorned: Honoring the Revenge Lament in Early Modern Italy “Heaven has no Rage, like Love to Hatred turn’d, Nor Hell a Fury, like a Woman Scorned.” William Congreve in The Mourning Bride of 1697 (III/i) - Seventeenth-century laments of the scorned woman expressed the injustice and dishonor of abandonment with giusto sdegno: a desire – and need – for

revenge. Numerous, diverse performance venues for musical settings provided powerful, aggressive forums that enacted the battle of the sexes, afforded a crucial and visible mode for debates about female honor, and gave voice to the dangers of broken faith within the tumultuous social, political, and religious context of early-modern Italy.

Fishing for Hope: Social Sculpture and Sicilian Boat Craft - I believe in the possibility of using the arts as a tool that can be implemented within communities to foster discussion and communication. I will travel to Italy, to the city of Palermo for three main reasons: to study Sicilian

boat craft, conduct weekly art workshops for disadvantaged children, and make a large-scale sculpture that involves the children from the workshops, while also using visual vocabulary from my research.

Dissecting the Holy: Anatomy and Sanctity in Early Modern Italy - Focusing on the autopsies performed on saints during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries in Italy, this work will investigate the connection between religious belief and biological theories during the early modern period. Topics to be considered include

physicians understandings of the link between spirituality and anatomy, the means by which sanctity was ‘proven’ to Catholic and Protestant contemporaries, the reception of medical theories of the body by lay people, and the ways in which doctors used the Church to promote their career.

Examination of Technique and Culture through Apprenticeship - As a sculptor, I am interested in the ineffable, the arcane and the esoteric aspects of the glass craft tradition. The goal of my project is to fully immerse myself into the Venetian glass-factory tradition, to study

the history of the Venetian glass industry, and to experience and observe the tacit knowledge of the glass artisans that has been a part of a lineage that can be traced to the Middle Ages. I will partake in a formal apprenticeship in a factory with the glass master, Pino Signoretto.

Narrative Theater in Italy: Staging Culture for the Masses - Amidst intense socio-political turmoil from both the extreme left and right in late 1970s Italy, an innovative art form emerged that led to the scrutiny of those events for ideological discourse amongst the people. The

examination of this art form, critically named “narrative theater” is not only significant for itsinterdisciplinary potential bridging Italian Studies with Theater Studies, but it engages a much broader discourse of how modern media can reshape notions of history.

Convent Culture and Cloistered Women in Early Modern Venice - In Renaissance Venice, convents were, at once, places of spiritual refuge andreflection,sourcesofcivicpride,strongholdsof intellectual enlightenment, and passageways to imprisonment and submission. Women who entered convents were as diverse as the convents themselves—young, old, wealthy,

poor, devout, impious, modest, and ostentatious. While some women actively sought cloistered lives, others were forced into the commitment. My research uses convent chronicles and administrative documents to examine convent culture and to discern the influences of post-TridentineconfinementonthelivesofVenetianconvent women

Amelia Rosselli: Across Language - My Fulbright project is an examination of the work of the multilingual poet Amelia Rosselli (1930-1996) at the Centro Manoscritti in Pavia and the Fondo Amelia Rosselli in Viterbo. Best known for her innovative Italian poetry, Rosselli also

wrote in English and engaged with British and American poetics as a poet, critic and translator. By working in her archives I plan to trace this aesthetic hybridity and highlight the importance of her unique voice for an English readership.

Translational Neuroengineering - My project focuses on translating the in-vitro electrophysiology research conducted by the Neuroengineering and Bio-nanoTechnologies (NBT) Group to more clinically relevant models. NBT’s previous work on neuroplasticity has important implications for stroke recovery and

the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, but it has not yet been tested in in-vivo models. The demonstration of these electrophysiological principles in in-vivo models would be a huge step towards the development of therapies based on this technology

Creating a Support Network for Italian Parents with Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Children - I am dedicating my Fulbright grant period to research how parents and hearing health professionals are serving Deaf children. It is my hope to learn where and what resources are lacking, and to work with others to strengthen both healthcare and educational resources

(e.g., parent-mentoring program and education with mainstream programs) for families and their deaf and hard-of-hearing children, and the professionals who serve them. With better resources, families and health professionals are empowered to make better decisions in raising their Deaf children successfully.

I cannot imagine a more outstanding opportunity for cultural immersion and academic development than the Italian Fulbright experience. The program’s accommodating structure and emphasis on cultural exchange provide full occasion to absorb an extraordinary amount of information while enjoying the Italian way of life. The nine months

I spent in the small town of Bra, in the Piedmont, will remainadefiningmomentinmy development as a leader and drive my dedication and desire to use this newly acquired knowledge back in the United States.

Italy is a country rich in agricultural and cultural heritage, yet while we enjoy Italian food in the US, we rarely consider its past. Having grown up on a farm and after studying French and Italian at Princeton, I set out to study one component of Italian food and agriculture

that would teach me about the country, its cuisine, and how these two entities support Italian agriculture: cheese. For nine months, I lived in the Piedmont and traveled all around the county to visit farmers, work in aging caves, and see distribution facilities to study Italian cheese. Cheese is an ideal part of the Italian system for sustainable food and agriculture because its production is a way in which small farmers all over the peninsula can produce a product, using centuries-old traditions, that can be aged and sold around the world. By spending time with farmers, their cows, sheep, and goats, their vendors, and their consumers, Isawfirsthandhowfamouscheesessuchas Castelmagno, Grana Padano, Provolone, Ragusano, Parmigiano Reggiano, Gorgonzola, and even Bitto were produced.

For me, the Fulbright experience was as much about studying the past as it was thinking about the future, in the context of the daily actions of eating. Food acts as the underpinning of a culture – we develop relationships by sitting down to a meal and we solidify traditions by producing the same productswith specific agriculturalmethods over centuries of civilization.

As students, we are unbelievably fortunate that so strong a program for cultural exchange exists, and I would like to speak on the behalf of Fulbright scholars to thank the Commission for creating and sustaining this opportunity for us.

Formy first series, (2 paintingsare depicted in the images “Saturnia”, to the right, and “La Mola”, below) I traveled to various outdoor, natural, sulfuric springs throughout Italy to document via photographs and drawings how people preserve the tradition of using these baths for their healing qualities. I used my documentation to make paintings in my studio in Florence. Two months following my return to America, I showed paintings from my bathing series as well as my last body of work I made in
