Stefano Dall'Aglio
I am a political and religious historian of early modern Italy. My interests include digital humanities, public history, and archival studies. I have held fellowships at Villa I Tatti-the Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance Studies, the Institut d’Histoire de la Réformation of Geneva, the Newberry Library of Chicago, the USTC Project at the University of St Andrews, the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities at the University of Edinburgh and the Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. From 2006 to 2010 I was a Fondazione Monte dei Paschi di Siena Fellow at the Medici Archive Project and from 2011 to 2015 I was a Research Fellow in the ERC project ‘Italian Voices’ at the University of Leeds. I also taught at Sapienza University, Florence University of the Arts, and the University of Edinburgh.
I have published several books and articles on political and religious dissent in Renaissance Florence and Italy, with a specific focus on Girolamo Savonarola and sixteenth-century Savonarolism and political opposition to the Medici. My latest monograph ('The Duke’s Assassin. Exile and Death of Lorenzino de’ Medici', Yale University Press, 2015) won the Helen and Howard R. Marraro Prize awarded by the American Historical Association. My journal article ‘Voices under Trial. Inquisition, Abjuration, and Preachers' Orality in Sixteenth-Century Italy’ (Renaissance Studies 2017) was awarded a honorable mention by the Society for Renaissance Studies. I am currently working on a newly discovered corpus of letters written by the prince and cardinal Leopoldo de’ Medici to his agent in Rome Ottavio Falconieri, producing both an online digital database and a scholarly monograph.

The Marraro Prize is awarded annually by the American Historical Association (AHA) to honor the best book in Italian history or Italian-American relations. The prize will be awarded during a ceremony at the Association’s 131st Annual Meeting in Denver, CO, January 5–8, 2017. “Plumbing archives from Florence to Venice to Simancas,” commented the Marraro Prize committee, “Dall’Aglio has dug up a trove of new documents and substantially revises a long accepted narrative regarding the murders by and of Lorenzino de’ Medici, ultimately switching responsibility for the latter from Duke Cosimo to Emperor Charles V. More than a careful correction of long held misconceptions, this is a gripping story of spies, international intrigue, and politics. The story is elegantly rendered in Weinstein’s fine translation.”
