"Most universities wish they could provide environments as effortlessly supportive and interdisciplinary as I Tatti, but the villa’s alchemy of conviviality and incisiveness is unique. The opportunity to share a developing concept, a thorny interpretive problem, or a newly-composed essay with brilliant friends who are invested in its success is a rare gift."
John Gagné, Francesco De Dombrowski Fellow ’17
