The Hoogewerff-Hendrix Fund for Italy Studies was founded by Harald Hendrix (1958), professor of Italian language and culture at Utrecht University (2001-2025) and director of the Royal Dutch Institute in Rome (2014-2019), on the occasion of his retirement in June 2025. It is partly named after G.J. Hoogewerff, the first director of both Dutch institutes in Italy and professor of art history at Utrecht University.
