Giulianna was one of four people approved this year by the Italian Studies Department, which is part of the Interdisciplinary Medieval Studies program. The selection involved a strict process, with interviews, tongue tests, writing and text translation.

focused on medieval Italy, Giulianna intends to deepen her formation in history, research methodology, literature and languages. Your research is still under development, but will continue to investigate narratives about health and disease in the premodern period, prior to the institutionalization of medicine, a theme that has been exploring since undergraduate.

Giulianna has a degree in History from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), where she presented the course completion work entitled the Plague Representation in the Petrarch Letters: Between Fortune, Fear and Hope, under the guidance of Professor Igor Salomão Teixeira. During his career at UFRGS, he also participated in extension projects in public history, research activities and disciplines in other areas, such as Latin, which contributed significantly to his interdisciplinary formation.

Approved with a six -year -old Full Fellowship, Giulianna will be covered by life, health plan, passages and academic rates. In June, before the beginning of classes, he participated in an intensive Italian course in Padova, Italy, with the support of the US university itself.

In addition to Berkeley, Giulianna was also accepted in the master's degree in Culture History of the Warburg Institute (London), with a partial scholarship granted to only two students a year throughout the city, and a master's degree in historical research at the University of Leiden (Netherlands), one of the most selective in Europe. She also arrived on the Duke University's History FHD show list, similar to Berkeley's.

IFCH training was highlighted by Giulianna as fundamental for entering international programs. According to her, the four years of graduation were essential for the consolidation of her career as a historian and for her preparation as a candidate for doctoral programs abroad.

Giulianna expresses gratitude to its teachers and references at UFRGS - Cássia Macedo, Igor Teixeira and Pedro Telles - for support and guidance during the international selection process.
