Robin,
Do you want *anyone* from anywhere in the world, or someone that can
communicate in English? I have access to mitt loads of both, some of which
don't speak English and/or are working right in Venice.

It’s never too late to be who you might have been.-George Eliot
Tosach eólais imchomarc/Questioning is the beginning of knowledge. -Irish
proverb
One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar.-Helen Keller
The difference between stupid and intelligent people - and this is true whether
or not they are educated - is that intelligent people can handle subtlety. They
are not baffled by ambiguous or even contradictory situations. In fact, they
expect them and are apt to be suspicious when things seem overly
straightforward. - Neal Stephenson, "The Diamond Age"
It's not who you are that holds you back, it's who you think you're not. -
Denis Waitley
Once more I'm faced with a query way outside my own area of expertise, so I
figured I'd see if you folks can give me some clues.
For those of you who study Italian Renaissance: Who would you say are the best
living scholars of Venetian dress, c. 1600, or, failing that, Venetian
portraiture or art history of this era?
By "scholars," I mean those with academic credentials, positions, or
publications. In this case, the need is for someone to cite, not someone to
make clothing. In other words, who do the historic-clothing-makers look to as
the authorities here?
Everyone I can think of is either deceased or working in earlier periods, alas.
