In 2023 the Institute welcome 7 interns attending a research doctorate at the University of Siena (with or without a Pegaso scholarship linked to the OVI) or in other affiliated universities: 

Elisa Bisson ( PhD student, University of Notre Dame, USA)
Gloria Fiorentini ( PhD student, Università degli Studi di Firenze)
Giulia Giangravè ( PhD student, Università degli Studi di Pisa)
Giulia Maria Gliozzi ( PhD student, University of Notre Dame, USA)
Alessia Luvisotto ( PhD student, Università degli Studi di Siena / OVI)
Federico Novello ( PhD student, Università degli Studi di Siena)
Salvatore Riolo ( PhD student, University of Notre Dame, USA) 

After attending an intensive introductory course on OVI activities with various Institute tutors, the interns began the training period by drafting vocabulary entries or dealing with corpus texts in GattoWeb; some of them participated in the videoconference seminars of the cycle “Early Italian Texts: Linguistic Textures and Literary Traditions” (March-April 2023) ​organized in collaboration with the US University of Notre Dame, and other Institute activities.
