The Institute’s research is dedicated to the histories of art and architecture in a transcultural and global perspective, with a focus on Italy, Europe and the Mediterranean. A prime concern of projects and collaborations is to combine historical research with a critical engagement in current debates and challenges, such as ecology, heritage, urbanization, migration and diversity; aesthetic and artistic practices; media and material cultures; the digital transformation and the future of museums.
