Interdisciplinary research institute in Rome for the arts, humanities and social sciences

The British School at Rome is the UK's leading humanities and fine arts research institution abroad. The BSR was established in 1901, granted a UK Royal Charter in 1912, and in 1916 moved to its current location on Via Antonio Gramsci.

Tonight we opened the photographic exhibition "125 years of Archaeology at the British School at Rome", an event held as part of the celebrations for the BSR’s 125th anniversary.

We warmly thank everyone who attended and made the evening so special. Our particular thanks go to Abigail Brundin (Director) and Stephen Kay (Archaeology Manager) for their introduction to the exhibition, which traced the long history of archaeological research at the BSR. Congratulations also to Elena Pomar Elena Pomar who designed the exhibition and to the whole archaeology team for the support.

It was a pleasure to see so many people moving through the exhibition, admiring photographs taken over 125 years at Falerii Novi, now the site of major excavations led by the BSR.

Thank you for sharing this moment with us🏛️

The exhibition will be open until 29 October 2026.

What did British travellers see, think and write about when they visited Rome in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries?

Their accounts offer unique insights into the mediaeval cityscape and its inhabitants. They scrutinise ancient ruins and classical sculpture, and they visit the popes and comment on them. Their reasons for travelling were varied, and their experiences ranged from antique-collecting to being tortured. Memories of Rome stayed with all of them and often permanently shaped their outlook. It might even have prompted the reconfiguration of Westminster Abbey.

With Julian Gardner (Emeritus Professor of the History of Art, University of Warwick)

The British School at Rome joins in the widespread tributes of esteem and appreciation for our deeply missed former colleague, Professor Chris Wickham, following the very sad news of his death last Friday.

Chris was Director of the BSR from 2020-2021, throughout the time of the pandemic, and gained the affection and appreciation of the whole community for his gentle, wise and steady influence in that difficult period. He was always available to talk or to listen, and together with Leslie created many joyful occasions even during lockdown to bring the community together. As the restrictions eased in Italy he led fascinating walks across the almost empty city, revealing through his great expertise the medieval Rome that is often hard to find. He was also happy to get behind the wheel of a minibus to take residents out beyond the city walls on voyages of discovery far and wide.

Of course, alongside his very human touch which made him so loved on Via Gramsci, Chris was a formidable scholar with an excellent reputation and extensive and well-established networks across Rome and Italy, hugely respected for his academic work which brought added lustre to the BSR. His latest book was catalogued for the BSR library just this week. He remained a frequent visitor and a stalwart supporter after he stepped down from the Directorship. He will be very much missed.

The British School at Rome and Keats Shelley House invite applications for The Michael Marks Poet in Residence, a one-month residency in Rome from 1 to 30 April 2027, generously supported by the Michael Marks Foundation.

The residency offers an emerging UK-based poet a month immersed in Rome's rich cultural landscape and in the creative and intellectual community of the BSR. Alongside dedicated time for their own writing, the resident will work with the Director of Keats Shelley House to find new ways of bringing poetry into conversation with the Museum, its collections and its audiences, through readings, spoken-word performances, workshops, community events or digital projects. The residency will also include a public reading of the poet's own work.

We are looking for a poet who is self-motivated, collaborative and open to experimentation, with an interest in creating meaningful encounters between poetry, place and new audiences.

Open to UK-based poets with an independent creative practice and substantial work experience.

Applications close 30 November 2026 and should be submitted via BSR Slideroom: https://bsrome.slideroom.com or at the link in bio!

We are delighted to announce the launch of the virtual exhibition 'The First Congress of the European Federation, Rome 1909', curated by Prof. Ulrich Tiedau, UCL-BSR Fellow from February to April 2024.

The exhibition grew out of the research project Prof. Tiedau developed in Rome during his fellowship at the BSR, and reconstructs one of the earliest moments of debate on the idea of a European union.

This week our archaeology team is working in the Sabina, close to Rieti, at the fascinating site of the so-called 'Baths of Vespasian'. The joint research project with Saint Mary's University, Halifax and McMaster University began with a geophysical survey which revealed a far larger complex than previously imagined, nestled alongside the Via Salaria.

This week the joint team is excavating several trial trenches to test the results of the geophysics as well as beginning the 3D recording the standing structures.
