Scholars and young researchers, from foreign universities and institutions, who are in Rome for study purposes, are especially involved in the seminar meetings. The topics addressed are the history of the Papacy, the Popes and the city of Rome in the various fields of historical, historical-artistic and archaeological research, covering a wide chronological span from antiquity to the present day.
