British School at Rome

British School at Rome

The British School at Rome was established in 1901 and granted a Royal Charter in 1912 as an educational institute culminating the study of awarded British scholars in the fields of archaeology, literature, music, and history of Rome and Italy of every period, and for the study of the fine arts and architecture.

Located north of the Pincio in the elegant Parioli district, the main structure of the British School at Rome was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens and (copied stone-for-stone from the west front of St Paul's cathedral) for the British Pavilion at the International Exhibition held in Rome in 1911 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the unification of Italy.

Its current director is Professor Andrew Wallace-Hadrill.
