The Valente Library continues to acquire materials donated by prominent scholars in the field of Italian Studies. Recently cataloged and shelved on the third floor are books from the library of Dr. Patricia Hochschild Labalme, a Renaissance scholar, who taught at Wellesley, Barnard, and Hunter Colleges, and New York University. She also directed the humanities program of the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation. Other parts of her library were donated to the American Academy in Rome and to Kenyon College. Dr. Labalme received a master’s and a doctorate from Harvard. She was the author of Bernardo Giustiniani: A Venetian of the Quattrocento (1969) and numerous articles.
