Dear affiliates of the Davis Center,
One of our new Visiting Fellows, Adele Del Sordi, is searching for housing near the Davis
Center. If you know of anything that meets her requirements listed below, please email her
directly at a.delsordi@imtlucca.it<mailto:a.delsordi@imtlucca.it>.
Adele in her own words:
"I am looking for a furnished one-bedroom apartment or studio (this would be my first
preference), or for a room in a shared apartment (with one other person maximum). I would
like to lease for six months, October through March. I am arriving on 24th of September,
so I can see the place only after that. I do not have specific requirements about the
location, only that is not too far from the Davis Center/Widener library (let's say
30 mins walk or less). Regarding the price, I can spend up to $1000-$1100 for the
apartment, a bit less in case it is a room in a shared apartment."
Here is her biography:
Adele Del Sordi is a Ph.D. student in Political Systems and Institutional Change at the
Institute of Advanced Studies IMT in Lucca. Adele completed her undergraduate studies at
the Università degli Studi di Napoli "L'Orientale". Prior to her studies in
Lucca, she spent a semester in Moscow, where she improved her Russian and audited seminars
at the Moscow State University, and one year as a UN Volunteer in Kazakhstan, working as
Communications Assistant for the UNV Office. Adele spent a term teaching and researching

the Centre for Russian and East European Studies at the University of Birmingham, UK. For
the fall semester, Adele was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship as Visiting Student
Researcher. For her Ph.D. thesis Adele is investigating the role of so-called
"parties of power" and media in the political process in the post-communist
