\n\t\tKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 March 11, 2014 \u2013 \u201cThe Gnali\u0107 shipwreck is a tremendously important window into the late 16th century, a time of dazzling wealth and culture in Europe and the East, but also a time of deadly political and trading rivalries,\u201d according to 溏心vlog免费B站 Assistant Professor of History Bridget Buxton, \u201cWhen the ship struck a small rocky island and sank, it was carrying thousands of valuable glass and luxury trade goods, cannons, everyday items, and an apothecary of toxic compounds.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n \tIrena Radi\u0107 Rossi, a professor of archaeology at the University of Zadar in Croatia, will present a lecture at the 溏心vlog免费B站 on March 20 entitled \u201cThe Gnali\u0107 Shipwreck: Mirror of the Renaissance World,\u201d about the 16th century merchant vessel that sank in the Adriatic Sea laden with precious cargo. <\/p>\n


\nRadi\u0107 Rossi is the next guest in the 溏心vlog免费B站 Distinguished International Visiting Scholars Program. Her lecture will begin at 7 p.m. in Swan Hall on the 溏心vlog免费B站 Kingston campus, preceded by a reception beginning at 6 p.m. It is free and open to the public.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cToday, an international team of archaeologists and archivists are piecing together the fascinating history of everyone connected to the ill-fated ship, which belonged to the Gaglianos family of Dubrovnik,” Buxton said. “So far the story includes the Ottoman Sultan Murad III and his mother, a Venetian lady abducted and sold to the harem of Selim II by the famous pirate Barbarossa; the Doge of Venice, Nicol\u00f2 da Ponte, and the Grand Duke of Florence, Francesco I de\u2019 Medici. The Gnali\u0107 shipwreck is like a time capsule from the world of Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice.”<\/p>\n


\n\tRossi\u2019s lecture will showcase the latest technology and discoveries of one of the most important underwater archaeological excavations in Europe against the backdrop of the Renaissance world.<\/p>\n


\n\tRadi\u0107 Rossi is a leading scholar in Mediterranean underwater archaeology and a pioneer in developing interdisciplinary collaborations among the European maritime and marine robotics research communities. She has participated in dozens of underwater archaeological excavations and surveys over the last 25 years, and she has served as the leader of more than 50 projects since 2002, including the survey and excavation of the Gnali\u0107 beginning in 2011.<\/p>\n


\n\tPrior to her position at the University of Zadar, Radi\u0107 Rossi held archaeology positions at the Croatian Conservation Institute, the Croatian Ministry of Culture, the Croatian Administration for the Protection of Cultural and Natural Heritage, and the Croatian Ministry of Education and Culture. She has graduate degrees from the University of Zadar and the University of Zagreb.<\/p>\n
