Preise und Stipendien

The Debenedetti family, in agreement with the Department of History, Anthropology, Religions, Art and Entertainment at Sapienza Università di Roma, the Centro di Studi sulla Cultura e l’Immagine di Roma and the Fondazione Ernesta Besso, have established a biennial prize for an unpublished long-form study on the arts of the eighteenth century, focussed, though not exclusively so, on Roman culture.

The prize is open to young scholars of any nationality who are under 40 years of age on the closing date of the call for applications, for independent research-based long-form writing, i.e. degree theses, specialisation theses, doctoral theses, etc., written in Italian, English, French or Spanish. The prize consists of publication as a monograph by L’ Erma di Bretschneider in Rome, in the series “Inchiostri di Storia dell'arte e dell'architettura”.
