Accademia di Romania in Rome

The Accademia di Romania in Roma ( Romanian Școala română din Roma , "Romanian Academy in Rome") is a Romanian research institution based in Rome . It was founded in 1920 under the name Scuola Romena di Roma. Today it is part of the Romanian Cultural Institute (Institutul Cultural Român) .

On the initiative of the historian Nicolae Iorga and the archaeologist Vasile Pârvan , the Romanian parliament decided in 1920 to set up two foreign institutes: the École roumaine de Fontenay-aux-Roses , based in Paris, and the Scuola Romena di Roma . The following year, the city of Rome allocated a piece of land to Romania in order to be able to give the facility a structural framework. The building was constructed under the direction of the architect Petre Antonescu (1873-1965) and inaugurated in 1933 at Piazza José de San Martin 1 on the Giulia Valley. Until then, the Scuola was temporarily housed in Via Emilio de 'Cavalieri from 1922. The Romanian Academy had patronage over the facility .

After the Second World War , the Scuola Romena di Roma was one of the founding members of the Unione internazionale degli istituti di archeologia, storia e storia dell'arte in Roma , whose primary goal was to manage the libraries of the German institutes in Rome and Florence after the war . In 1947 the Scuola Romena di Roma was closed by a decision of the Romanian leadership and only partially reopened as Biblioteca Romena di Roma in 1969 . After the fall of Nicolae Ceausescu in the context of the Romanian Revolution of 1989, the status of the institution changed again. Now it has become the Accademia di Romania a Roma .

In addition to research, the institute primarily serves to train young academics in the humanities, fine arts and architecture. A limited number of scholarships are awarded for this purpose, benefiting doctoral and post-doctoral students from Romanian universities. The library contains around 13,000 volumes.

The institute has been publishing the Ephemeris Dacoromana as a series of publications since 1923 - with an interruption from 1945 to 2000 . From 1925 to 1939, four volumes of a series Diplomatarium Italicum were also published.
