Guido Beltramini is an Italian architectural historian and exhibition curator. Since 1991 he has been Director of the Centro Internazionale di Studi di Architettura Andrea Palladio in Vicenza, a world-renowned institute devoted to the history of architecture from the ancient world to the 20th century, with a special focus on the Renaissance. In 2012, he created the Palladio Museum as a physical interface for communicating the Centro’s scholarly activities to a wider public.  Housed in the Palazzo Barbarano, the Palladio Museum, which he still directs, is now a vibrant cultural resource, showcasing all aspects of the great architect’s multifaceted work and the society of his day.

An expert on Renaissance architecture, Guido Beltramini has published widely on the subject, including books translated into English, French and German. Upon appointment by the Royal Institute of British Architects, he is currently writing the first complete catalogue of Palladio drawings held in British collections. The publication of the catalogue will mark the culmination of a major research project that Lord Burlington had envisaged in the 18th century but is only now being realised.
He has also curated numerous exhibitions in various cities (London, Venice, Vicenza, New York and Montreal), which over the years have also been a means of further developing his Renaissance studies and in particular on architectural drawings and the network of relations between architects, humanist intellectuals and artists. Graduated under Manfredo Tafuri at the Venice School of Architecture (IUAV) he has always been keenly interested in the design aspects of his own exhibitions, having involved architects such as Umberto Riva and designers such as Aldo Cibic.

From 2015 to 2020, he was a visiting lecturer at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design. In 2017 was the Inaugural Andrew W. Mellon Visiting Professor at the Victoria & Albert Museum Research Institute. From 1994 to 2002 he was a visiting professor at the Ferrara University School of Architecture. He has been a member of the Board of Trustees of the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal since 2015 and of the Fondo Ambiente Italiano (FAI), Milan, since 2018.
