The Medieval Southern Italy Working Group
The Medieval Southern Italy Working Group
The Center for the Art and Architectural History of Port Cities “La Capraia” is delighted to announce that with Maria Harvey, we have launched the Medieval Southern Italy Working Group, dedicated to fostering exchange and collaboration among art historians of medieval southern Italy and those curious about venturing south.
We plan on workshopping talks, syllabi, publications, thesis chapters, and other academic endeavors, in Italian or in English, and to meet two or three times a semester online and once a year in person in Naples.
We would be very glad to hear from art historians (including graduate students), curators, and conservators interested in joining this working group. Please send name, e-mail, and institutional affiliation (if applicable), and brief details of particular areas of interest to harveymx@jmu.edu
Please feel free to share this news with anyone who may be interested.
