When you teach #publichistory at Ca' Foscari University in #Venice and when the centre you work in (@vedph.bsky.social) has hosted the HistoryCityApps project leader Fabrizio Nevola and funded the new locative app #HiddenVenice. A great opportunity for our students

Yes, it's an incredibly busy moment of the year. But then it's a warm and sunny day, and this is what you see from your new classroom door... #venice #giudeccacanal

A wealthy and skilled Medici prince and an old antiquarian seeking for a buyer for his collections. We're in Rome and Florence in the 2nd half of the 17th cent. and this is my new article on the Journal of the History of Collections.
