The venue

The workshop will be hosted at the Koninklijk Nederlands Instituut Rome (KNIR). The Institute was founded in 1904. The main objective at that time was to study the Vatican archives that had just been opened up. These provided an unparalleled source of information on the cultural, political and religious history of the Netherlands in an international context. The KNIR soon expanded its area of activity to other fields of research, in particular the art history, ancient studies and archaeology of Italy and the Mediterranean.

Since 1933, the Institute has had its own building, designed by Italian engineer Gino Cipriani and The Hague architect Jan Stuyt. The building is located in the Valle Giulia, an area which was allocated for various international institutions during the fascist regime. It was opened on 29 April 1933 in the presence of Benito Mussolini.

After the Second World War, the KNIR played an important role in the renewal of the scientific and cultural ties between the Netherlands and Italy. Since the early 1990s, the Institute has focused primarily on the academic world.

On its 100th birthday, the NIR was awarded the title ‘Royal’. Since then, the institute has attracted a growing number of students, scholarships, courses, interdisciplinary research projects, congresses, presentations and debates.
