Playing papal politics
As has been well established, Bologna and Rome maintained a contentious relationship during the early modern period. Though technically under the sovereignty of the Church, Bologna clung obdurately to its republican past, enabled by both cultural tradition and legal loophole, leading historians to label it a ‘republic by contract’. However, scholars have yet to grapple with the ways Bolognese women, especially women religious, participated in thi…
Authority, Religion, and Women Writers in the Italian Counter-Reformation
Recent decades have seen the rediscovery of a significant number of texts authored by Italian women between 1560 and 1630. And yet the commonplace that the Counter-Reformation silenced women writers has persisted. One figure useful for teaching a more nuanced vision of post-Tridentine Italy is the Bolognese nun Diodata Malvasia (c. 1532-post-1617). She authored a pair of histories recounting her convent's efforts to maintain their way of life ami…

Rethinking Vittoria Colonna
Though the rime spirituali of Vittoria Colonna (1490–1547) have benefited in recent years from increased critical examination, her rime amorose have gone largely unstudied. This lack of attention is due at least in part to a lack of excitement, as modern scholarship has come to consider her early secular verse to be competent but conventional, a brand of Petrarchism that is at once passively receptive and abstractly decorporealizing. This essay a…
Se fossimo tante meretrici
The Breve discorso di quanto avvene alle reverendissime suore di San Mattia et San Luca, monasterij uniti dell'anno 1573, a manuscript composed by the Dominican nun Diodata Malvasia, narrates the efforts of the women of these two Bolognese convents to resist post-Tridentine forced enclosure and to maintain their governance over the iconic Madonna of San Luca. This previously unstudied chronicle represents only the second known work by the author …
