Bill Kent passed away prior to the reissuing of Australians in Italy, but his contribution to the field of Rennaisance history is profound. He was an Australian Professorial Fellow in the School of Historical Studies at Monash University, and was founding director of the Monash University Centre in Prato. He was a widely published specialist in the cultural and social history of late medieval and Renaissance Italy, especially Florence, and was general editor of the critical edition of Lorenzo de’ Medici’s letters. In 2004 he published Lorenzo de’ Medici and the Art of Magnificence (Johns Hopkins University Press).
A new foundations has been established in his honour. Please visit the Bill Kent Foundation website to find out more.
