Czech Historical Institute in Rome
Reestablished in 1993, the Czech Historical Institute in Rome continues the tradition and scientific mission of the Czechoslovak Institute in Rome, which was founded between 1921 and 1923 and existed until the annexation by German occupying forces in 1939 and then briefly from 1945 to 1948, when again it was shut down by the totalitarian government. The institute is part of the Institute of History of the Czech Academy of Sciences. Since 1998, it has been a member of the international organization Unione Internazionale degli Istituti di Archeologia, Storia e Storia dell’Arte in Roma.
