Star backs scholarship

Violinist Nicola Benedetti is backing a scholarship that will help a student further her study of Italian literature.

The Scots-born classical music star, who is proud of her Italian heritage, is a patron of an Edinburgh University scheme to provide scholarships for postgraduate Italian Studies students.

Susanna Grazzini, 22, from Siena in Italy, is coming to Edinburgh this month to study the acclaimed Italian writer Carlo Emilio Gadda.

The fund helps people who otherwise may not have been able to study at Edinburgh. Susanna is the fourth student to receive a scholarship.
