NYU Program in Museum Studies:
Internship at Villa La Pietra
New York University Florence – 2018
(Deadline Extended: Apply by 1/31/2018)
VISIT AND EVENTS INTERN AT VILLA LA PIETRA:
1 position, 300 hours
STIPEND: $1750.00
Beginning in 2005, Villa La Pietra has hosted a rich program of summer events entitled The Season, which takes advantage of the unique setting of La Pietra’s historical garden. The Season has also presented programming in historic locations in downtown Florence, reinforcing the bond between New York University (NYU) and its host city. The program usually features theatrical and musical performances, literary and filmmaking festivals in both English and Italian.
The intern will have the opportunity to be involved in all stages of planning the events, collaborating closely with the Visit and Events Coordinator and the Executive Director of Villa La Pietra NYU. Tasks include: general assistance in the organization and use of the spaces for each event, whether outside in the garden or in one of the indoor spaces, in collaboration with the artistic directors and assistants; communication to the general public; design and preparation of the full program and the individual programs; creation of other promotional materials; maintenance of the data base and other occasional clerical work; and follow up with statistical analysis and reports on the events. Knowledge of computer design, graphics and social media is required. There will also be opportunities to welcome special guests and show them around the art collection and the gardens.
Finally, a portion of the internship is related to the presentation of the collection and garden to visitors. The intern will have time to study the history of the Villa, the artwork and the family that donated the estate to NYU in order to give tours of the Villa and garden.
The Visit and Events Coordinator, Cristina Fantacci, supervises this internship. The beginning and end dates, and daily schedule of the internship will be determined after the intern has been selected (approx. week of May 21 – week of July 6).
*Candidates with some Italian language speaking skills are preferred for the Visits and Event position.
