Library
The library forms the “beating heart” of the KNIR. Specialized in archaeology, history and art history of Rome and Italy, it is a reference point for research and scholarship in these disciplines. One of the library’s main objectives is to support the research and educational activities of our community, and in particular to promote and valorise the rare and valuable books preserved by our Institute.
With its classic open-shelf arrangement and largely original interior from 1933, the library offers an ideal space for research and study. The stunning view of the garden enhances the pleasant atmosphere.
The resources and services we provide, together with the international and interdisciplinary environment that characterizes the Institute, make our library a stimulating forge for ideas, projects and experiences.

-
Reference: information and bibliographic assistance in person, or via email/telephone.
