Dear Sirs, I am a teacher of English in a secondary school in the north-east of Italy( students from 14 to 19 years old)). School e-mail address itgsaffi@cyberforli.it .

As regards your research about famous people in Flanders,I asked my colleagues some information. I found out that no historical personalities are mentioned in our History books, but a lot of space is reserved to your artists in our school Art books. Pieter Breughel de Oudere, Pieter Rubens and Jan Van Eyck are very famous in Italy, well- known especially by the people who love art.There are some pages explaining their artistic production and large beautiful pictures of their works in our books.

I am sorry I can't supply you with further information.

Peter Breughel the Elder, Memling, Rubens and Van Eyck all appear in most comprehensive history of art books, including Jansen's definitive work entitled History of Art. I do not know what your criteria are but I would say that there are several important names missing from your list (at least as far as history of art is concerend) of celebreties. These would include Rembrandt, Van Dyck, Vermeer and Vincent Van Gogh, who all have a Flemish background. They certainly should be added to the list as Flemish celebreties. Hope that this is of help to you.
