Foundations of Modernity:
A Graduate Symposium on the Italian Renaissance

On behalf of the Department of Italian Language and Literature, we are pleased to announce the first Graduate Student Symposium on the Italian Renaissance, to be held on April 3-5, 2009 at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut.

The Renaissance has long been considered the cradle and crucible of Western modernity. "Foundations of Modernity" brings together graduate students from North America and Europe in order to examine this notion, and to explore various aspects of Italian culture from the late fourteenth to the late sixteenth century.
