British School at Rome

Valutazione: ★ ★ 2 stella

The BSR was founded in 1901 and received its first Royal Charter in June 1912. Following the International Exhibition in Rome of 1911 celebrating 50 years since Italian reunification, the site of the magnificent Edwin Lutyens-designed British Pavilion was granted in perpetuity to the British nation on condition that it be used exclusively as a British research centre for archaeology, history and the fine arts. In 1916, following significant adaptation by Lutyens, the BSR moved into our current home in via Gramsci, in Rome’s Valle Giulia.
