Leila Treherne

Leila Treherne is a second-year undergraduate studying Art History at the University of St Andrews. Born and raised in Italy between the Tuscan countryside and Rome, she developed a deep appreciation for cultural heritage from an early age. Her academic interests center on the intersection of art, literature, and history, with a strong emphasis on research and creative interpretation. Passionate about uncovering overlooked narratives, she uses writing as a way to engage with the past and bring new perspectives to light. In Florence, she will be working with Sheila Barker at the Center for Women in Renaissance Archives on the Digital Bronzini project and a research initiative focused on Artemisia Gentileschi.
