Eva Falaschi

Scientific Coordinator

I am scientific coordinator in the project Beyond Pliny, fellow at the Center for Hellenic Studies, Harvard University and scholar at the Getty Research Institute. I was James Loeb fellow at the Zentralinstitut für Kunstgeschichte, München and research fellow at the Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa (2014-2020). I taught Greek and Roman Archaeology at the Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa and run a reading group on Latin Literature at the Eberhard-Karls-Universität Tübingen.
I got a Master of Arts in Classics at the University of Pisa, and studied Archaeology and Art History at the Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa, where I earned the diploma and the PhD. I conducted research at the Ludwig-Maximilians Universität in München and at the University of Oxford. I also took part in excavations at the Agorà of Segesta and in archaeological surveys in Locri.
I organized international workshops, also in collaboration with KU Leuven, and gave lectures and conferences in Italy (Pisa, Firenze, Milano, Macerata, Lecce), Europe (Dublin, Fribourg (CH), Coimbra, Tübingen, Leicester, Graz, Lerida), North America (Los Angeles, San Francisco, New Orleans, Montréal, Toronto), South America (Rio de Janeiro) and South Africa (Pretoria).
Thanks to my philological and art-historical training, I specialize in Greek and Roman literary sources of art, Greek / Latin technical terminology of art, art treatises and biographical works on artists, and the reception of Greek art in the Roman world. In the field of Digital Humanities, I helped develop the OltrePlinio website and some digital tools for the study of Pliny the Elder’s Naturalis Historia.
