Marking a Moment in Time
September 2021
We are very pleased to begin the celebration of our 25th anniversary as the Bogliasco Foundation. Over the course of the next year, we will host a series of events, printed publications, and virtual newsletters to acknowledge the history of our many talented Fellows. This website will be continuously updated throughout the year!
In 1991, the Bogliasco Foundation was incorporated as an American 501c3 nonprofit organization in the state of New York. Founding trustees Anna Maria Quaiat and James Harrison, who would lead the organization as President for the next 16 years, spearheaded the efforts to renovate the properties and create ideal working conditions. The Study Center opened its doors to a first small group of Fellows in 1996. |
The working atmosphere offered by the Bogliasco Foundation is unique. The beauty of the surrounding landscape is as breathtaking as the study center itself. " |
"In a month, I accomplished what I couldn’t even commence in a (very long and dramatic) year: I concluded my classes at university, offered a couple of lectures, read five books, wrote my article. All in a month. I am deeply grateful to the Bogliasco Foundation for their unexpected and very appreciated gift. To be their guest is an honor; to be their guest twice is a miracle that I will never forget." Daniela Fargione, 2021 Fellow in Literature-Scholarship, Italy |
