Modernists: I’m looking to find more secondary scholarship about the bombing of southern Italy—particularly Naples—in 1943/1944 to get a better appreciation of how those events shaped cultural heritage (archives lost, art destroyed, etc). Any ideas?

#skystorians
Santa Chiara Church in Naples after it was bombed in 1943. Most of the church was severely damaged and later restored after 1953.

If you’re in Portland this week for SCSC conference, please stop by two panels Héctor Linares Gonzalez & I have co-organized on saints, relics, and religious self-fashioning in the Iberian world!

I am (sadly) not at SCSC because I’m on fellowship in Napoli, so go and support our panels 🥳
