Carla Galfano
This year marks twenty since I studied abroad at ISI Florence when I was an undergraduate at the University of Connecticut. I would say that it feels like only yesterday, but in the intervening years I finished my BA, earned a certificate in painting restoration from l’Istituto per l’Arte e il Restauro, completed two master’s degrees, and lived in two countries and three states where I held six positions at four institutions. I also got married and had three sons – two of whom, completely accidentally or at least only subconsciously, share names with Medici brothers. I was recently appointed Manager, House Collection at Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection, a role that is both the culmination of years of education and experience and the fortuitous outcome of being in the right place at the right time.
