Villa I Tatti awards fellowships for advanced research on any aspect of the Italian Renaissance. These fellowships are normally reserved for postdoctoral scholars in the early stages of their career. Candidates of any nationality are eligible. The selection committee looks for demonstrable scholarly excellence and promise, requires a project of intellectual importance which is suitable to the resources of I Tatti and Florence, and endeavors to assess the candidate's ability to contribute to collegiality and the intellectual life of the other Fellows. Fellows are required to devote full time to their projects and may not have other obligations such as teaching during their fellowship year. Projects do not have to be devoted to Florentine subjects, and often are not; yet it must be possible for the greater part of the project to be accomplished in Florence. Since one of I Tatti's goals is to establish an intellectual community in which a fruitful interchange of ideas can take place, Fellows are expected to be in residence most of the time and, with rare exceptions, for a full academic year. Ordinarily, preference is given to scholars embarking on a new research project rather than to those wishing to pursue the subject of their dissertations and to applicants who have not previously enjoyed the advantages of prolonged residence in Florence. Fellowships can be either non-stipendiary, for scholars with support from other sources, or stipendiary, in which case stipends will be given according to individual need and the availability of funds. The maximum grant will be no higher than $30,000; most grants will be considerably less. Deadline October 15.
