The Wallace Fellowship Program provides residential support for early and mid-career scholars researching the historiography and impact of the Italian Renaissance in the modern era.

Fellowship projects may address a wide range of topics, including the transformation and commentary on the Italian Renaissance in modern art, architecture, literature, music, philosophy, political thought, museum and collecting history, and the survival of Renaissance ideas in contemporary culture. The program encourages research that explores the Renaissance’s legacy across disciplines and welcomes innovative approaches to understanding its modern impact.

Fellows receive USD 5,200 per month for either a 4- or 6-month residential period, along with a one-time supplement of up to USD 1,800 for relocation expenses. When possible, a rent-free apartment is provided, or a housing subsidy is offered if an apartment is unavailable. Fellows also enjoy access to the Biblioteca Berenson and other privileges at the Harvard Center.

Applicants must hold a PhD at the time of application and may not be pursuing a second PhD. Early and mid-career scholars are prioritized, and projects must be feasible to conduct primarily in Florence. Candidates must be conversant in English and familiar with Italian. The fellowship is open to scholars of all nationalities, with special consideration for those lacking regular access to research materials in Italy. Fellows are expected to reside in the Florence area and participate in the center’s academic life.
