After 2 years as Director of the Centre, Penny Roberts will be stepping down and going on leave. In her stead, we welcome Maude Vanhaelen (Italian/Classics) who will be taking over as Director. David Lines is also stepping down as DGS (to take up the position of Head of the Italian Department) and will be replaced by two Co-DGSs, Paul Botley (English) and Lorenzo Pericolo (History of Art).

Congratulations are due to Dr DAVID LINES (Italian) on the recent award of funding for a Leverhulme International Network on ‘Renaissance Conflict and Rivalries: Cultural Polemics in Europe, c. 1400–c. 1650’. This project, directed by Dr LINES, will involve colleagues from the CSR in three colloquia in collaboration with the Warburg Institute and the Universities of Bonn, Leuven, Venice (Ca’ Foscari), and Florence, and will run from 2012-15.
