Forum for Historical Research since 1888
Located next to St. Peter's Basilica, the Campo Santo Teutonico is the retreat of the Roman Institute of the Görres Society (RIGG), the well-known academic centre for research into the history of the Church and Christian cultural heritage.
Thematically in memory of Pope Benedict XVI, the two circles of students will hold his meeting this year in Rome on 23 September, for which a live link will also be installed. Among the speakers will be RIGG members Cardinal Kurt Koch, Archbishop Georg Gänswein and Ralph Weimann. Benedict XVI was a member of the RIGG for 40 years and arranged for the foundation of a Study library at the Campo Santo Teutonico.
The 10th century, which is "dark" for ignoramuses but fascinating for medievalists, has its own fascinations in Rome, to which 63 speakers will devote themselves in a crowded five-day session, including three members of the RIGG: Andrea A. Verardi (Rome), Stefano Manganaro (Pisa) and Simone Piazza (Venice). Originally planned for 2020 and conceived by Xavier Barral i Altet and Manuela Gianandrea, the conference brings together the Sapienza, Ecole Francaise de Rome, Hertziana and Federico II University.
The Museum of the Cathedral of Hildesheim offers a series of events during the Day of World Heritage.
Deadline: 18th June
