Dr Carla Benzan, Lecturer in Art History, will be speaking about her research on the Sacro Monte (Holy Mountain) at Varallo on Friday, 30 October 2020.

She is presenting on an intriguing and little-known phenomenon in early modern visual culture: the construction of enormous sculptural mountains in sacred spaces.

The two-day event is hosted by the Centre for Medieval and Renaissance Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles and organised by Professor Geoffrey Symcox.
