Project curated by Prof. Francesca Longo, Head of Heritage at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In collaboration with Barbara de Iudicibus<\/strong>, Head of the Reorganisation of the Historical Archive, and Raffaella Trotti<\/strong>, Director of the Library and Historical Collection, together with Professors Raffaele Gavarro, Guglielmo Gigliotti, Lucilla Meloni, Marco Nocca, Assunta Porciani and Pietro Roccasecca.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Academy of Fine Arts in Rome has launched a project to enhance its museum collection, which is of extraordinary size and historical-artistic value and has been the subject of numerous studies over time but remains fragmented and only partially integrated into a coherent whole.<\/em><\/p>\n

The collection of the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome includes a section of antique plaster casts<\/strong> from the Accademia di San Luca, from which the Institute separated in 1873, taking on the role of an institution dedicated to artistic education; a collection of old and modern drawings and prints<\/strong>, which also includes a valuable photographic collection<\/strong>; as well as a large section relating to art competitions and, in particular, to the National Artistic Scholarship (Pensionato Artistico Nazionale \u2013 PAN)<\/strong>, which was active between 1891 and 1940 and to which we owe the works submitted by competitors in the painting, sculpture, decoration and architecture sections.<\/p>\n

Some of the works are kept in the Academy\u2019s premises and storage facilities, while the rest of the collection is still housed in various locations, including the the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art, the VIVE, the Giacomo Acqua Carabinieri Barracks and the Ripetta Artistic Secondary School,<\/strong> which, over time, have taken great care to ensure their protection and conservation, making a decisive contribution to the preservation of these works.<\/p>\n

The aim of the project is to reunite this collection, making it accessible and available to scholars, students and the public<\/strong>. The project represents an important opportunity for in-depth educational and scientific study, aimed at reorganising, restoring, cataloguing and promoting<\/strong> of the entire collection of the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome and includes a major exhibition in autumn 2027<\/strong> at which the collection will be presented to the public in its entirety for the first time.<\/p>\n

Launched in March 2026, the project will run for three years and involves students from the School of Communication and Promotion of Contemporary Artistic Heritage<\/strong>. The first phase of the project, carried out with the second-year students on the two-year course (Giulia Bonafede, Giulia Maria Capostosti, Sara D’Agostino, Francesco Palleschi, Sofia Torchia)<\/strong> and is nearing completion, involved the identification of over 50 plaster sculptures, including works by Ercole Drei, Arturo Dazzi, Raffaele Uccella, Luigi Venturini, Angelo Zanelli and many others.<\/p>\n
