The fellowship is awarded to only a dozen people each year. Miller will work in the Berenson Library at I Tatti, studying the Renaissance renovation of four episcopal palaces: Florence, Pistoia, Parma and Trent. Her research will serve as an extension of her work on episcopal palaces of the Middle Ages, the subject of her upcoming book The Bishop's Palace: Architecture, Episcopal Authority, and Clerical Culture in Medieval Italy (Cornell University Press). The I Tatti Fellowship will also allow Miller to attend the millennial meetings of the Renaissance Society of America, to be held in Florence next spring.
In addition to the anticipated arrival of her latest book, an Italian translation of her first book, The Formation of a Medieval Church: Ecclesiastical Change in Verona, 950-1150, has recently been published in Verona by Cierre. The translation, Chiesa e Societa in Verona Medievale (950-1150), was directed by Paolo Golinelli, professor of Medieval history at the Universita degli Studi in Verona.
