Adam Broż (born 27 January 1935) is a Polish art historian and journalist, who has been living in Rome since 1965. He was the secretary of Emeryk Hutten-Czapski (1969–1979) and Karol Popiel (1970–1977), and authored several guide books on Rome.
He was born in 1935 in Bielsko as the son of Stanisław Broż and Urszula née Jachimska. [1] [2]
He spent his youth in Kraków, where he studied art history at the Jagiellonian University (1955–1961), graduating with Master's diploma. At the same time, he developed his skills as a fine-art photographer and worked as a technical assistant at the Medical Academy in Kraków, performing scientific photography. [1] [3]
In 1965 he went on a one-year scholarship of the Margrave J. S. Umiastowska Roman Foundation to Rome, planning to research on the Italian Renaissance. In Rome he met and became the secretary of Emeryk Hutten-Czapski. At once, he took the position of the secretary of the Margrave J. S. Umiastowska Foundation, chair of which was Czapski. Broż performed as a double secretary of Czapski and the foundation between 1969 and 1979. [3] [4] Together with Emeryk Czapski, he went on a number of antiquarian journeys around Europe, mainly to Paris. [1] In addition, in the years 1969–1977 he was the secretary of Karol Popiel. [1] [3]
In the years 1968–2012 he was the administrator of the Hospice of the Union of Polish Knights of Malta in Rome (the Hospice later renamed the House of Malta). [1] Polish scholarship holders stayed there, [3] including Jerzy Vetulani, with whom Broż established a long-term friendship. [5] [6] [7] Broż also worked as a tour guide, showing Polish groups around Rome. [1]
During his stay in Rome, Adam Broż completed a course in archeology of the city and its surroundings, and a course on paper conservation, including the conservation of books. He worked as a journalist. [3] He published, among others in Tygodnik Powszechny, Przekrój, [8] Kultura, Narodowiec, Nowy Dziennik, [9] and later also in magazines Niedziela and Akcent.
He helped in obtaining Italian marbles used to rebuild the interiors of the Royal Castle in Warsaw in the 1970s and 1980s. [10]
He authored a number of guide books on Rome: [11] Rome and the Vatican. A Guide (Rome 1982, five editions until 1992), History of the Holy Years (Rome 1983), Rome – Holy Year 1983. Jubilee of Redemption. Papal Bull (with B. Lewandowski, Rome 1983), Rome and Its Surroundings. Tourist Guide (Warsaw 1984), Rome. Vatican. History of the Holy Years. A Guide (Rome 2001), Rome in Polish (2009, re-issued 2014) and Vatican. Pilgrim's Guide (Warsaw 2010, with Maria Betlejewska).
Over the years, Broż has acquired a number of engravings with portraits of artists, [3] [12] seventy-three of which were shown at the exhibition Portraits of Artists. Prints from the Collection of Adam Broż at the Royal Castle in Warsaw in February–May 2015. [9]
In 1984, Adam Broż was elected a member of the Free Journalists Association in Munich. [1]
He married Bożena née Sikorska, a doctor of medicine. [1]
