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 and
Quattrocento 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 link
between 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.

dating from the mid to late sixteenth-century
commissioned by the Scuola Grande di San
Marco from the flamboyantly native painter
Tintoretto.The project will include an examination
of how citizens occupying a strange position both

with an artist to construct a particular definition
of Venice, its people, and their expectations of

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 harmonic
dissonances 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,
or defy trends, and influence the form and use
of 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.

Teatro Dell’Opera di Roma. And I will collaborate

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-
centurylamentsofthescornedwomanexpressed
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.

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 its
interdisciplinary 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
and reflection, sources of civic pride, strongholds
of 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-
Tridentine confinement on the lives of Venetian
convent women

Amelia Rosselli: Across Language - My
Fulbright project is an examination of the work
of the multilingual poet Amelia Rosselli (1930-

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.

The effects of transglutaminase on the
immune response of Celiac Disease - I
will study the ability of an enzyme called,
transglutaminase, to successfully suppress the
specific immune response triggered by gluten in
patients with a genetic condition called, Celiac
disease (gluten sensitivity). The effects of
transglutaminase in vivo will be investigated with
transgenic mice that express Celiac disease. If
successful, this enzyme treatment could permit
consumption of gluten-containing products by
Celiac patients without the harmful symptoms
commonly linked with the disease.

Italy: Food, Culture, and Health - During
my doctoral work in Preventive Medicine, I
discovered a striking disconnect between the
fields of nutrition science and gastronomy, the
art and science of good eating. As a Fulbright
scholar, I will work to integrate these two
disciplines, which I believe is an imperative step
in preventing chronic disease. Considering that
Italy is a global leader in the field of gastronomy,
I will explore the protective health effects of
gastronomy in Italian culture.

Redefining community: Interplay of
immigration, community, identity and culture
in Italy - Given the recent influx of immigrants to
Italy, Italians are faced with the need to redefine
their conceptions of nationalism, identity and

how Italy’s changing cultural climate is shaping
and re-defining conceptions of community, and
how this complex process links to identity and
nationalism. It will also examine the practical
side of these insights and what they mean for
efforts aimed at integrating immigrants.

Larinum transitioned from being a non-Roman

rates of disease, poverty, and hunger, and

effective, Slow Food model for the creation of
sustainable and sovereign food and agriculture
systems throughout the third world.

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
remain a defining moment in
my 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, I saw firsthand how famous cheeses such
as 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 products with specific agricultural
methods 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.

I spent the 2008-2009 Fulbright term in
Florence, Italy, developing 3 series of
paintings. For my first series, (2 paintings
are depicted in the images “Saturnia”, to
the right, and “La Mola”, below) I traveled
to various outdoor, natural, sulfuric springs
throughoutItalytodocumentviaphotographs
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
Italy, concerning rituals in the Brazilian martial art, capoeira, at Linda Warren Gallery
in Chicago. My stay in Italy definitely provided me with many challenges and surprises
which allowed me to make unexpected developments in my work and to grow in many
different ways. I am still sorting through many hours of film footage, thousands of photos,
and many ideas which I will continue to use in my current work. My paintings can be
