Before accepting his current position as Executive Director of The National Trust for Scotland Foundation USA in 2004, Curt Jonathan Gough DiCamillo (born June 25, 1961) worked for thirteen years for the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

DiCamillo is an authority on the British country house and has written and lectured extensively in the U.S. and abroad on the subject. Since 1999 he has maintained an award-winning database on the Web, The DiCamillo Companion to British and Irish Country Houses. The database seeks to document every British and Irish country house ever built, standing or demolished. This ground-breaking scholarly project is unique in its scope and is of international importance.

In recognition of his work in helping to preserve British architecture, he has been presented to Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother [1], and the Prince of Wales. He is a member of the Society of Architectural Historians of Great Britain, an alumnus of The Attingham Summer School for the Study of Country Houses, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, and listed in the Heritage Registry of Who’s Who. DiCamillo was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and grew up there and in Central Florida; he currently lives in Boston, Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Curt is the brother of the award-winning children’s book author, Kate DiCamillo.
