The American Academy in Rome recently announced the winners of the 2010-2011 Rome Prize. The Rome Prize is awarded annually through an open national competition that is juried by leading artists and scholars in the fellowship categories. Forty-eight individuals were invited to make up nine peer juries to review the applications this year. The Academy has conferred 32 awards to artists and scholars representing a variety of disciplines. Winners of the Rome Prize will reside at the Academy’s 11-acre center in Rome and receive room and board, a study or studio, and a stipend.
Included among this year’s Rome Prize Winners in Modern Italian Studies is Jennifer Scappettone, an alumna of the University of Virginia.
