Casa Artom is a house facing the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy. It was purchased by Wake Forest University in 1974. The two-story house, built in the 1820s, is located between the Peggy Guggenheim Museum and historic home Ca'Dario in the residential neighborhood called Dorsoduro. Casa Artom is named for Dr. Camillo Artom, a faculty member at the Wake Forest University School of Medicine, and his wife Bianca, a teacher of Italian and native of Venice. Wake Forest University students and faculty reside in Casa Artom while participating in the semester in Venice or other study-abroad programs.

 Collection Overview

The Casa Artom Scrapbook Collection consists of 14 guestbooks for the house, dating from around the house's opening in 1974 until 2007. Most of the inscriptions are by students, usually written at the end of their stay. They include reminiscences of their time in Venice and advice for future students who visit Casa Artom. The scrapbooks also include photographs and drawings of and by the students and faculty. One volume consists of descriptions of memorial and other gifts to Casa Artom and renovations done to the house as service projects by students and faculty. In 2008, facsimile volumes were produced by Etherington Conservation Services.
