One of the few residential institutions in the world dedicated exclusively to the humanistic disciplines, the foundation was created in 1991 by a group of artists and scholars from Italy, Switzerland, and the United States. It awards fellowships to applicants who have demonstrated significant achievement in their disciplines and will thrive in an intimate, international, multi-lingual community.

Professor Havely’s book, provisionally entitled Apennine Excursions: Texts and Readers from the Fourteenth Century to the Present, follows itineraries through the human history of the mountains of central Italy - from medieval clerics through eighteenth- and nineteenth-century tourists to the multi-ethnic combatants of World War II.
