The Berenson Fellowship Program is inviting applications to support early and mid-career scholars researching transnational dialogues involving Italy during the Renaissance.

The program encourages a geographically expansive approach, inviting projects that explore transnational dialogues between Italy and other cultures, including but not limited to Latin American, Mediterranean, African, and Asian contexts.

Scholars from all nations working in fields such as architecture, the arts, history, philosophy, literature, music, and the history of science are encouraged to apply, with special consideration given to those without regular access to research materials and facilities in Italy. The fellowship is residential, requiring recipients to live in the Florence area and participate in the intellectual life of Villa I Tatti, including conferences, lectures, and concerts.

The grant is USD 5,200 per month, plus a one-time supplement (maximum USD 1,800) towards relocation expenses. When possible, an apartment is provided rent-free (utilities not included), or a housing subsidy is offered if no apartment is available.

Fellowships are awarded for 4 or 6 months, with up to four fellowships available each year. Fellows must spend at least three days a week at the center and may not hold other teaching positions or concurrent fellowships during their term.

Applicants must hold a PhD at the time of application, be conversant in English and familiar with Italian, and be able to conduct most research in Florence. Priority is given to early and mid-career scholars, and previous I Tatti Term Fellows (except Graduate Fellows) are not eligible.
