Subjects covered include the architecture, history, literature, material culture, music, philosophy, religion, science, or visual arts of Italy.

It must be possible for applicants to carry out most of their research in Florence with the resources available in the city and at I Tatti. Applicants should discuss how their project relates to their earlier work and note that preference is given to scholars embarking on a new project rather than polishing a dissertation.
