italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
Dear all,
The Dante Alighieri Society of Birmingham is pleased to invite you to the talk "Women in a Medieval Colony. The Greek Island of Chios under the Genoese (1346-1566)" by Chiara Ravera.
The presentation will focus on women of Chios, beyond what we know about the government and administration through the ‘official’ documentation. Notarial acts offer unmatched (and otherwise lost) knowledge about many topics and aspects related to the daily life of the people of Chios, including women. The talk will look at them, in particular from a socio-economic point of view. What can we learn from the documents about their lives, their families, their rights, their properties?
The event will take place on Wednesday 9th of May at 4.30pm, in the Muirhead Tower, room 109, University of Birmingham, B15 2TN.
All Welcome!
Dr Fabrizio Di Maio
Teaching Fellow
University of Birmingham
