Venetian Popes of the 15th century: Gregory XII, Eugene IV and Paul II:
In 1406, during one of the Catholic Church’s most tumultuous periods, the Roman Curia unanimously elected Angelo Correr to the papacy (Gregory/Gregorio XII r. 1406-15). Thus, Correr became the first Venetian to wear the papal tiara. Within a few decades, and once the papacy was reunified after the Great Schism, two more sons of Venice were elected to the office: Correr’s nephew, Gabriele Condulmer (Eugene/Eugenius IV, r. 1431-47), followed soon after by Condulmer’s own nephew, Pietro Barbo (Paul/Paulus II, r. 1464-71).

AMERICAN ACADEMY IN ROME
Founded in 1894, originally as the first graduate school of architecture for the United States, the American Academy in Rome emerged in its present form – a hybrid center for the arts and humanities – by 1912. With an 11-acre campus on the highest point within the walls of Rome, the American Academy remains the premier American overseas center for independent study and advanced research, a not-for-profit, private entity, and the only one of the 30 foreign academies in Rome not supported primarily or entirely by its government.
