The Venetian Seminar is a peripatetic one-day workshop which has a long history of bringing together scholars of history, art history, literature and linguistics who study Venice and Italy. It is convened on a yearly basis by Alex Bamji (Leeds), Filippo de Vivo (Birkbeck), and Mary Laven (Cambridge). The Seminar brings together established scholars, early career researchers and postgraduate students in a format designed to promote awareness of the latest research in the field, and to maximise discussion. We are grateful for the support of the Humanities and Arts Research Centre and the Centre for the Study of the Body and Material Culture at Royal Holloway, University of London.
