Ludovica Galeazzo is an Associate Professor of Architectural History in the Department of Cultural Heritage at the University of Padua. She is the Principal Investigator of the ERC StG project “Venice’s Nissology. Reframing the Lagoon City as an Archipelago: A Model for Spatial and Temporal Urban Analysis (16th-21st centuries)” (2023-2027).

She received her PhD from the Graduate School Ca’ Foscari-Iuav in Venice and was later a Research Fellow at the Iuav University (2013-2016) and a Postdoctoral Associate at Duke University (2016-2017). In 2019 she was the recipient of the Kress fellowship in Digital Humanities at I Tatti, The Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance Studies where she continues to hold an appointment as a Research Associate.

She was a member of the projects “VISU. Visualizzare lo spazio urbano” (2014-2016) and MIUR/Cofin (PRIN 2008) “Città costruita, città progettata, città virtuale: il Museo della città” (2010-2012) and the research unit “Memoria e Rappresentazione della Città” (2009-2014). From 2014 to 2016 she served as the manager of the digital initiatives at the VIU MacLab (Venice International University).

Ludovica is an associate member of the project “Metapolis” (I Tatti) and the coordinator of the international consortium “Florentia Illustrata”, a multi-institutional research on digital Renaissance Florence. She has been a member of the collaborative initiative “Visualizing Venice/Visualizing Cities” since 2011 (University of Padua and Duke University) and has worked as assistant curator on three international exhibitions on early modern Venetian history displayed at the Ducal Palace (“Acqua e cibo a Venezia” 2015; “Venice, the Jews, and Europe” 2016) and the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke (“A Portrait of Venice: Jacopo de’ Barbari’s View of 1500” 2017).

She serves on the editorial board of “Architectural Histories”, the EAHN journal (since 2021). She is also a member of the AISU International (Italian Association of Urban History) and the international association “Via Querinissima, from mith to history” (since 2022).

Her research focuses on Venetian architecture in the early modern period with a special interest in new technologies to demonstrate the process of the city’s change over time.

Ludovica has published extensively on the relationship between architecture, urban studies, and social history, and the wide-ranging issue of place-making processes. Her publications include the monograph “Venezia e i margini urbani. L’insula dei Gesuiti in età moderna” (IVSLA 2018), the co-edited volume “Acqua e cibo a Venezia. Storie della laguna e della città” (Marsilio 2015), and more than thirty articles and book’s chapters.
