ABOUT ME:My name is Rebecca. I attend the Bard Graduate Center in NYC for an M.A. in the Decorative Arts. I earned my B.A. in art history at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. I have also studied at University of Delaware, John Cabot University in Rome, University of Cambridge, and Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan. I am an editorial assistant for smARThistory.org, which won the 2009 Webby Award for Best Educational Site.
Main areas of interest include "Barbarian" grave goods, jewelry of ancient cultures, medieval magic, and material and visual culture of video games. Above all, I just love learning. Piacere!

TRAVEL BLOG:For those of you who want to read about my adventures abroad, starting from the very beginning, you may read everything I have posted about Italy in general, about my semester in Rome, or in Milan.
Ben and I were in Brera, and he says, “You know, that looks just like our school!” And it was. It’s from 1814, by Henry Fradelle, Cotrile dell’Ospedale Militare di Sant’Ambrogio. Because at one point, our University was transformed into a Military Hospital (and it was a warehouse under Napoleon’s rule). It’s just crazy for us Americans to wrap our heads around the fact that we’re going to school in a building older than our country.
