- Description
- A few months ago, I was asked a question by a British academic colleague about my field of research: 'One thing that puzzles me is: why the Italian Renaissance? How does someone from the antipodes, from Melbourne, come to study the history of Italy during the Renaissance? It's not an obvious path to me, and I would be interested to hear how you arrived at it.' What follows goes some way towards answering that question - by describing my formative encounters with Italy, first as a young student imagining Italy in Melbourne in the 1980s, and then as a junior scholar experiencing Italy in the mid 1990s.
