Curt is an American architectural historian and an authority on the British country house.  He has written and lectured extensively in the U.S. and abroad on the subject.  Since 1999 Curt has maintained an award-winning database on the Web, The DiCamillo Companion to British & Irish Country Houses.  The database seeks to document every English, Scottish, Welsh, and Irish country house ever built, standing or demolished, together with a history of the families who lived in the houses, the architects who designed them, and the history of the collections and gardens.

 

In recognition of his work in helping to preserve historic British buildings, Curt has been presented to the late Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother and the Prince of Wales.  He is a member of The Society of Architectural Historians of Great Britain, an alumnus of the Royal Collection Studies program and The Attingham Summer School for the Study of Historic Houses and Collections, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and the Massachusetts Historical Society, and is listed in Who's Who in America and Who's Who in the World.
