ncamerle@lsu.edu 225-578-9043
 

Ph.D., Princeton University; SMArchS, MIT; B.A. Yale College. Professor Camerlenghi specializes in Early Christian and Medieval Art and Architecture.  His recently completed dissertation on the architectural renovations to the Basilica of San Paolo fuori le Mura in Rome was researched in Rome while he was a member of the Swiss Institute of Rome and of the Bibliotheca Hertziana, the latter as a Kress Foundation Scholar.  He is currently curating an exhibition on depictions (drawings, engravings, lithographs, and paintings) of the Basilica of San Paolo.  The exhibition is to be organized with scholars at the Vatican Museums and will be held in Rome on the occasion of the two-thousandth anniversary of St. Paul’s birth (2008-2009).  Professor Camerlenghi has presented papers at major conferences in Italy, Switzerland, and the United States.  Other academic interests include the use of technology in art history, Renaissance architectural drawings, the architecture and urbanism of Rome, the history of domes, and—closer to home—the history of the American college campus from utopia to display-case.  While in Italy—and since arriving in Louisiana—Professor Camerlenghi has also cultivated his interest in food and food history.
