BEYOND THE NEIGHBOURHOOD: THE URBAN HISTORIES OF SOCIABILITY AND COMMUNITY IN RENAISSANCE FLORENCE, 1400-1500.

Australians are internationally-recognised leaders in Renaissance history. In 2000, this reputation directly contributed to a major international agreement with the Italian Cassamarca Foundation. The Foundation has funded eleven Italian-studies lectureships and many scholarships in Australian universities, raising Italian culture's profile in academia, the student body and the wider community. The present project on Florentine urban society will advance the field of Renaissance social history, reinforce Australia's already high international profile in the area, and promote international agreements such as that with the Fondazione Cassamarca, thereby conferring major academic, cultural and economic benefits on Australian national culture.
