The Italian Renaissance in the Nineteenth Century
The Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance Studies, Florence, in collaboration with the Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa, will hold a conference on The Italian Renaisance in the Nineteenth Century June 5-7.
The object of this conference is the Renaissance revival as a Pan-European phenomenon of critique, commentary and re-shaping of a nineteenth-century present perceived as deeply problematic. This three day event proposes to recover some of the multi-dimensionality of the reaction to, transformation of, and commentary on the Italian Renaissance and its ties to nineteenth century modernity, as seen both from within (by Italians) and from without (by foreigners, expatriates, travelers, etc.).
