Fay Trachtenberg

Acting Director - Trinity Rome Campus

Fay holds a B.A. in International Relations from Mount Holyoke College and a Juris Doctorate from Temple University Law School. She studied in Italy at the Trinity College (Barbieri Center) Rome Campus and at the Università per Stranieri, in Perugia.

“I fell in love with Italy when I studied abroad in high school and college and I often tell people that I “grew up” in Rome, despite having spent my childhood in New England. Studying in Rome, at Trinity College Rome Campus my junior year, proved to be a transformational experience. My time abroad taught me invaluable lessons, and most importantly it made me view the world differently.

It is an honor and a privilege to be a part of the TCRC team and to be a small part of that same transformation for TCRC students this coming semester. I am very much looking forward to “coming home to Rome.”

Prior to founding the Trachtenberg Consulting Group in 2023, Fay was a senior attorney, educator and administrative advisor at Temple University and Temple University Health System for more than 20 years. Before joining Temple, Fay practiced employment law, specializing in employment discrimination matters. She taught at both Temple Beasley School of Law and Rutgers Law Schools.

Fay currently sits on the board of the Philadelphia Diversity Law Group.

ALESSANDRO MICOCCI

Resident Assistant

Alessandro Micocci (York, United Kingdom, 23/02/1993). PhD candidate in Contemporary History at the University of Genova, waiting for the final discussion of the thesis. I hold a MA in History and Oriental Sciences from the University of Bologna, and a BA in History, Geography and International Cooperation from the Roma Tre University of Rome. I currently live in Rome.

I specialize in Cultural History, History of Totalitarian Regimes, and Heritage Studies, with a particular focus on the utilization of history and tradition by totalitarian and democratic regimes in Europe, the colonial and national heritage through the study of monuments and neighbourhoods, and memory. In my PhD research I developed comparative analysis on the utilization of historical re-enactments in Fascist and democratic Italy and Salazarist Portugal, juxtaposing national history and tradition with the local communities’ micro-resistance to propaganda. During my PhD I participated as a visiting researcher in the activities of the Institute of Contemporary History (IHC) of the Universidade Nova of Lisbon. I speak English, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese. I worked with Trinity College Rome Campus as a University Partner in 2018/2019.
