Getty Center
Settis, who was known as a scholar of ancient and Renaissance art, was a Getty consultant and scholar before joining the staff of the Getty Center in Los Angeles, California, in 1994.[3] He was appointed director in March 1993, to replace the founder Kurt Forster, who resigned in 1992 [4].[5] Settis left that position in January 1999, announcing that he would return to his former position as a professor of classical archaeology at the Scuola Normale Superiore.[6]
