The prize winner is announced at the annual business meeting at the College Art Association (CAA) conference. Eligible books must be published in Italian or English, have a publication date in the year prior to application, and the author must be a member of IAS for both the year of application and the year of award. This prize supports and celebrates scholarly excellence in the study of Italian art and architecture from prehistory to the present.
