Center for Italian Studies at Notre Dame

The Notre Dame Center for Italian Studies organizes and supports research, education, and outreach initiatives in Italian Studies, including those of the Devers Family Program in Dante Studies, together with partners on campus, in Rome, and around the world.

The mission of the Center is to support research and education in the languages, cultures, and peoples of Italy's past, present, and future from a broad array of disciplinary perspectives.

The Center supports Notre Dame faculty and students in Italian studies with its annual program of seminars and lectures; the research grants and fellowships it offers; its publications, library resources, and digital humanities initiatives; and through its internal research projects and international collaborations. The Center also organizes, sponsors, and co-sponsors outreach activities to celebrate and promote the study of Italy's languages, cultures, and peoples among Notre Dame's students and faculty.
