As ASECS president, Wendy Wassying Roworth has contributed the following statement, which will be read alongside other tributes: “Christopher was a longtime active member of the American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies. A generous scholar, editor, mentor, and friend, he was always willing to share his vast knowledge of Italian art and culture with colleagues and students. He will be missed, but his significant contributions to eighteenth-century studies will continue to inform and inspire.”
