Italy: The Bogliasco Fellowships Program     

Bogliasco Fellowships are awarded, without regard to nationality, to qualified persons doing advanced creative work or scholarly research in the following disciplines:

Archaeology , Architecture , Classics , Dance , Film or Video , History, Landscape Architecture , Literature , Music , Philosophy , Theater , Visual Arts

In the Arts, the Study Center welcomes persons doing both creative and scholarly work (such as Art History, Musicology, Film Criticism, and so on). With respect to Dance, Music, and Theater, however, the Center does not have rehearsal studio space for persons wishing to work extensively in performance.

Applicants for Fellowships are expected to demonstrate significant achievement in their disciplines, commensurate with their age and experience. In addition, they must submit descriptions of the projects that they intend to pursue in Bogliasco. An approved project is presumed to lead to the completion of an artistic, literary, or scholarly work, followed by publication, performance, exhibition, or other public presentation.

Approximately 50 Bogliasco Fellowships are awarded each year. They are scheduled during the two semesters of the traditional academic year. During 2006-2007 the dates are as follows: September 11 to December 15 (fall-winter), and February 12 to May 18 (winter-spring). Fellowships usually have a duration of one month (31-32 days) or, in some cases, a half semester (48 days). In special circumstances residencies of other lengths may be approved.

Application deadlines are as follows: January 15, 2006, for the fall-winter semester beginning in September, 2006, and April 15, 2006, for the winter-spring semester beginning in February, 2007.

Bogliasco Fellows may be accompanied by spouses (or spouse-equivalent companions) during their stay at the Liguria Study Center. Spouses or companions who intend to pursue a project in one of the disciplines, and who wish to be designated as Bogliasco Fellows, must submit separate and complete applications. The Bogliasco Foundation encourages such joint applications.
