Eating ice cream on the Grand Tour
Wed 27 October 2010
Fitzwilliam Museum
With Dr Melissa Calaresu, Faculty of History, University of Cambridge
Dr Calaresu specialises in fifteenth to nineteenth century European history with a special focus on the cultural, social, and intellectual history of Italy, Spain and France.
Dr Calaresu's recent research focuses on street-sellers in history and contemporary society. This research has come out of her recent work on sorbet sellers in eighteenth- and nineteeth-century Naples and has allowed the exploration of social realities as well as representations of food sellers in Italy in the early modern period.
