Launched in fall 2025, the Mario di Valmarana Center for Studies in Venice and Vicenza builds upon the success of the last fifty years of study abroad programs in the region and enables the UVA School of Architecture to expand educational and research opportunities in the area. Over the past five decades, more than 1,200 students have participated by the Venice and Vicenza programs which were first established in 1975 by Professor Mario di Valmarana (1929-2010). The Valmarana Center, located within the former Vescovado (the Bishop’s Palace) in the center of Vicenza, establishes a long-term footprint in Italy to anchor these existing education abroad programs, while also forging new research partnerships and expanding student access to international learning opportunities.
