@bsky.app DELMAS FOUNDATION GRANTS FOR RESEARCH IN VENICE AND FORMER VENETIAN TERRITORIES The deadline for applications from British and Commonwealth candidates is 1st April 2025.

RIP Howard Burns, a gigantic figure in the study of Italian architectural history. I was his first PhD student and owe him more than words can say. He was a source of inspiration and boundless knowledge. Above all, he understood that architecture is part of history in its broadest sense.

Applications are now invited to this year's round of the Gladys Krieble Delmas grants for travel to and research on Venice and the former Venetian empire. Closing date 1st April 2025 www.delmas.org/how-to-apply...
