Giovanna Ceserani works on the classical tradition with an emphasis on intellectual history, classical scholarship, historiography, and archaeology from the eighteenth century onward. She is interested in the role that Hellenism and Classics played in shaping modernity, particularly how the classical past originated from specific modern cultural, social, and political contexts. An author of significant works, such as "Italy’s Lost Greece: Magna Graecia and the Making of Modern Archaeology" (Oxford University Press, 2012), she is currently engaged in research projects related to eighteenth-century travelers in Italy. As the director of the Stanford Digital Grand Tour Project, she studies the travels of scholars and travelers in Italy from the 1760s, focusing on reconstructing historical movements based on archival research. Her current work also involves examining the emergence of modern histories of ancient Greece, employing new digital approaches to the study of early modern Europe.
