Over 11-12 October, 2018, Erin Giffin was invited to present her ongoing research at a joint PhD seminar organized by the Politecnico di Torino and ETH Zurich at the Sacro Monte di Varallo near Milan, Italy. 

Designed by Dr. Edoardo Piccoli (Politecnico di Torino), Dr. Maarten Delbeke (ETH Zurich), and PhD Candidate Lorenzo Fecchio (Politecnico di Torino), the seminar brought together scholars from Italy and abroad, including Evonne Levy (University of Toronto), Emma Maglio (Università di Napoli), and Cara Rachele (ETH Zurich). Erin presented her ongoing research in a paper entitled “Evolving Replicas of the Santa Casa di Loreto across Seventeenth-Century Lombardy and Emilia Romagna.”
