long-term maintenance issues and take the BSR residence forward into the second century of its existence. Council member Loyd Grossman generously has agreed to lead this capital appeal. The Annual Fund, which meets those expenses of the BSR’s activities that are not covered by long-standing arrangements with trusts and foundations, has continued to thrive, and has received powerful impetus from the new President of the Ashby Society, Nicholas Stanley, whose contributions of many kinds we welcome and salute.

In his report the Director outlines a number of staff changes that have taken place recently. We wish good fortune to all those moving on, but from the standpoint of Chairman of Council, I wish to commend in the highest terms the contribution of Mary Ellen Mathewson. We hoped for someone with the skills, application and character to build a dynamic development programme, and I believe that no-one connected with the BSR would deny that in Mary Ellen we found such a person. We wish her and her family good fortune in their exotic new home. We are fortunate that Mary Ellen will be replaced by the highly experienced Elizabeth Rabineau, who is perfectly placed to continue this important work.

I wish also to recognise the contributions of the Members, those individuals and institutions who year in, year out, loyally and enthusiastically support the BSR and its projects. They are our life-blood, and we hope that they will continue to respond to our ambitions and needs, and use their influence and knowledge to bring the BSR’s activities to the notice of an ever wider audience.

Timothy LlewellynChairman of Council

The reports appearing in this Annual Review will, I believe, impress the reader with the extraordinary range of intellectual and artistic activities that have formed the programme of the British School at Rome during the last year. Their character and quality express the abilities of the remarkable individuals who compete successfully for the opportunity to employ the unique facilities of the institution and to join the stimulating company of like-minded colleagues from widely varied backgrounds that enriches our community and output.

The members of Council, both directly and through the work of the Director, his staff and distinguished Faculty members, have responsibility for the proper governance of the institution under the terms of the Royal Charter and Charity law, for our reputation as a leading research institute and for the relationship with our key partner and provider, the British Academy, which, rightly, must be satisfied that public funds are effectively and efficiently spent in pursuit of our objects. We believe that this Review provides convincing evidence that this is the case. That we have secured the services of the Director, Christopher Smith, for a further term on secondment from St Andrew’s University gives us confidence that this performance will be sustained and almost certainly improved. We thank him and all his admirable staff for their gifted contributions to the success of the BSR.

Members of Council are appointed for set terms. This accounts for the regrettable retirement of members who have made very important contributions. In recent times, our former Chairman, Sir Ivor Roberts; Vice-Chair and legal adviser, Richard Cooper; Chair of Publications, Bryan Ward-Perkins; and Chair of the Faculty of the Fine Arts, John Gill, have all stepped down. On behalf of the BSR I thank them all most sincerely for their outstanding contributions. For the future, Marina Warner has kindly agreed to serve as Vice-Chair, and Ian Hodgson has succeeded Richard Cooper as legal adviser. Vivien Lovell has become Chair of the Faculty of the Fine Arts. I have no doubt that their tenure of these roles will be very successful. We are more than fortunate in the dedicated activity of Michael Higgin in the onerous role of Honorary Treasurer.

The search for new sources of funding described in the Foreword to last year’s Annual Review continues to be an important priority. In this Review the Director sets out the need to raise funds to address some key

grateful to her for her work; and very excited to welcome to the BSR Elizabeth Rabineau, whose work with the National Gallery and the Tate has been part of a long commitment to supporting research and culture. Alice Christie joined us to support the activities of a very busy London office. Joanna Kostylo, as Assistant Director, has for three years supported the BSR’s community of residents, whilst pursuing her own work on the Renaissance, the BSR’s Grand Tour research strand and a new project on an important archive. We wish her well in her future, and we welcome to the BSR Stefania Gerevini, who was previously at the Courtauld Institute in London and the Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florence. During her time at the BSR, she will be working on a project on Byzantine visual language, artistic appropriation and cultural identity in fourteenth-century Venice and Genoa, which fits closely with the BSR’s collaboration with the British School at Athens, funded by the British Academy, on the Adriatic. Marco Palmieri has joined us as Arts Adviser to support the resident artists, whilst Jacopo Benci has moved to a permanent position as Senior Research Fellow in Modern Studies and Contemporary Visual Culture, and already has made important contributions to developing modern studies at the BSR.

Many will be saddened to learn that Geraldine Wellington, BSR Residence Manager from 1992 to 2011, passed away in August this year. For generations of BSR visitors, Geraldine was the one who greeted us, showed us around, adjured us to turn up to meals on time and pay our bills, welcomed us back, and thrashed us at table tennis, even in her high heels. She was loved by all who knew her, and is much missed.

The pressures on our core income have made for hard decisions, and, as so often, it is the people in the institution that have to bear the brunt of this. My heartfelt thanks go to everyone who has worked so tirelessly and cheerfully to deliver such a successful year.

The BSR is a very special community. The very nature of the building, its organisation around the communal spaces of courtyard, library and dining-room, brings people together. One of the extraordinary joys of being part of the BSR is how close and how dynamic the relationships are between colleagues and residents. We are all part of the same conjoined endeavour, to support and build a creative and inspiring research environment, to foster the highest quality of achievement in the humanities, social sciences and arts.

This year’s report is a testimony to the collaborative nature of our work in pursuit of these goals. The rich programme of events that is the backbone of our activities in Rome has been designed collaboratively. Colleagues have been indefatigable in supporting one of our busiest ever events programmes, in Rome and in London, and in welcoming nearly 600 visitors to the BSR, with all that that entails.

Time and again, we find indicators of the extraordinary breadth and impact of what we do. As I write in June 2014, Nicholas Cullinan (Rome Scholar 2004–5) has curated the Henri Matisse: the Cut- Outs exhibition at Tate Modern; Mark Wallinger (Henry Moore Sculpture Fellow 1998–9) is represented in the major Hayward Gallery show, The Human Factor: the Figure in Contemporary Sculpture; and almost every room in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition has work by a BSR artist, with several rooms being curated by former BSR award-holders, including Cornelia Parker’s acclaimed ‘black and white’ room. Of our recent architecture fellows, we were delighted that Léa-Catherine Szacka (Giles Worsley Travel Fellow 2010– 11) was invited to curate a section of the Monditalia exhibition at the Venice Architecture Biennale (as well as having been awarded a two-year Marie Curie Fellowship at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design), and Tao DuFour (Rome Prize-winner in Architecture 2012–13) was included in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. In a recent report to the British Academy, we were able to record over a hundred publications by BSR staff in the period from 2010 to 2013, twelve BSR monographs and well over a hundred publications by BSR award-holders directly arising from work done at the BSR.

There have been a number of staff changes this year. Mary Ellen Mathewson has begun an exciting new adventure in Rio de Janeiro, and we are immensely

of maritime empires in the Mediterranean and other seas in this year’s G.E. Rickman Lecture. As a former Rome Scholar at the BSR (1972–4) and an inaugural winner of the British Academy Medal in 2013 for his publication The Great Sea (2011), we were delighted to welcome him back to the BSR.

Another landmark conference was devoted to the church of Santa Maria Antiqua, the so-called ‘Sistine Chapel of the eighth century’ because of its extraordinary frescoes, which have attracted international attention from historians, art historians, archaeologists and conservators, who gathered at the conference. The conference opened with Peter Wiseman’s account of the English community in Rome in the early twentieth century — a recurring theme in this year’s programme, which also featured Nicholas Stanley-Price’s lecture on the Non-Catholic Cemetery in Rome.

Our Research Fellows are an important part of the BSR’s academic community. This year, for example, a tremendously successful workshop on the recycling of glass and metal in late antiquity was organised by Inge Lyse Hansen (John Cabot University / BSR Research Fellow) and her colleagues, based on their work on

Our programmeAs outgoing Assistant Director, I want to thank the dedicated members of staff, award-holders, fellows and others who have helped me to enhance the Humanities Programme and bring about a number of successful initiatives.

Over the past year we have sustained a lively Humanities Programme, with conferences and lectures covering a wide array of topics, including issues of connectivity in the Mediterranean and the role of Rome within global trading and seafaring empires. One of the highlights was the conference Persia and Rome organised jointly with the British Institute of Persian Studies, the University of St Andrews and the University of Edinburgh, which reconsidered the largely underestimated role of the Sasanian Empire in the late antique world in relation to its western counterpart — imperial Rome. Adopting a similarly wide-lens perspective, David Abulafia explored the development

an ancient glass factory at Alberese. This was followed by the inaugural BSR–Corning Museum David Whitehouse Memorial Lecture, where we were delighted to welcome Karol Wight, David’s successor as Director at Corning, to deliver a lecture on early Roman blown glass.

The BA-funded research project for the past two years, ‘Rome and the World from Renaissance to Grand Tour’, was designed to open up the interdisciplinary potential of the Grand Tour theme and bring a wide range of scholars to the BSR. This year we heard John Brewer rethinking the notion of the Grand Tour from the unusual perspective of foreign merchants, geologists, military and naval officers, and scientists such as Charles Babbage (the celebrated computer pioneer), who climbed Vesuvius in the early nineteenth century. Luca Molà offered another perspective on Italy’s encounters with the world by discussing the ‘Global Renaissance’ and the circulation of goods, skills and technology between Italy, Asia and the American continent. Other contributors to the theme focused on more typical figures of the Grand Tour, including Sir Joshua Reynolds, presented in a lecture by Giovanna Perini Folesani, and William Kent, whose work as an artist, architect and garden designer was explored by Cinzia Maria Sicca. Her lecture preceded the exhibition William Kent: Designing Georgian Britain that opened at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London in March 2014, which was the focus of a BSR UK lecture by its curator, Julius Bryant, and a private view for BSR Members, showcasing the BSR’s engagement with major galleries and collections in Britain.

Jacopo Benci has taken up a new role as Senior Research Fellow in Modern Studies and Contemporary Visual Culture. Over the past ten years Jacopo has deepened the BSR’s engagement with contemporary cinema and visual culture through his research and publications on Michelangelo Antonioni and Pier Paolo Pasolini. One of the emblematic events marking his contribution this year was the symposium co-organised with Marina Spunta on Luigi Ghirri, whose photography was exhibited concurrently at the MAXXI. The symposium (part of a two-year research project on Ghirri and Italian landscape photography, funded by a British Academy / Leverhulme Trust small research grant) inaugurated a series of events highlighting the BSR’s commitment to modern Italian studies, including the Society for Italian Studies conference, Interstitial Italy: Reassessing Global Questions through the ‘Peculiar’ Italian Case, at which both Jacopo and I spoke.

The beginning of this academic year was marked by a press conference at the Italian Ministry

Lavinia Cozza addresses a packed Lecture Hall as she talks about her late father, Lucos Cozza, at the launch of Scritti in onore di Lucos Cozza, edited by herself and Robert Coates-Stephens (Edizioni Quasar, 2014), which was presented by Mark Wilson Jones, Paolo Liverani, Giuseppina Pisani Sartorio and Christopher Smith.

of Cultural Heritage to announce a significant archival project, which I began during my BSR appointment, in collaboration with the Archivio Centrale dello Stato. While the work is still in progress, the creation of a searchable database of hundreds of thousands of licences for the exportation of Italian archaeological finds, art and design between 1860 and 1909 will provide an invaluable resource for art historians, archaeologists, legal and economic historians, and museum specialists. The project — with its scope of expediting research and building potential partnerships between British, Italian and other European institutions — responds unequivocally to the BSR’s objective of establishing a broad interdisciplinary and international framework for collaborations across key research disciplines at the BSR, and it is my intention to continue work on this project in the future.

Our award-holdersBuilding up collaborations across the fields and providing an intellectually stimulating environment for our award-holders are key objectives at the BSR. This year the BSR brought together two scholars whose seemingly distant academic territories found an unexpected common ground and gave rise to a new research project. Lucy Underwood (Rome Fellow), studying English Catholic culture in seventeenth- century Rome, and Natalia Petrovskaia (BSR Research Fellow / Leverhulme Trust Scholar), who is working on medieval encyclopaedic traditions, conceived a new collaborative project on early modern cartographic representations during their visit to the Vatican Map Loggia, whose walls display sixteenth- and seventeenth-century geographical maps of European and non-European lands. The project has won funding from the Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation, and will focus on the cartographic representations of two early modern island empires: England (Lucy) and Japan (Natalia). Together with the interesting conference organised by Ralegh Radford Rome Fellow Elisa Perego and former Ralegh Radford Rome Fellow Rafael Scopacasa on Collapse or Survival? Micro-dynamics of Crisis, Change and Socio-political Endurance in the First-millennium BC Central Mediterranean, funded by the Rickman Memorial Fund, these kinds of initiatives show the ways in which the BSR fosters collaboration and supports early career researchers.

BSR award-holders continue to contribute to the Humanities Programme in a variety of ways. In April, Michele George (Hugh Last Fellow) delivered a lecture about her research on slaves in Roman art to the City

‘The strength of the BSR lies in its diverse and international community. It offers a unique opportunity for exchange with different disciplines in a non-competitive environment. After years of studying the history of art, the BSR fellowship gave me my first opportunity to engage with living artists. In these days of cuts to culture and education, the BSR maintains a tradition of rigorous scholarship and unfettered creativity that is increasingly rare.’

of Rome students. Alex Bremner (Paul Mellon Centre Rome Fellow) gave a lecture about the history of two Roman churches built by George Edmund Street, and organised a guided tour of these buildings for the award-holders and Ashby Society Members in March.

Congratulations to former and current award-holders on their achievements, including: Oren Margolis (Rome Awardee 2012–13) on his new position as Departmental Lecturer in Early Modern History at the University of Oxford; Marcella Pellegrino Sutcliffe (Rome Awardee) on the publication of her book, Victorian Radicals and Italian Democrats; Michelle Borg (Coleman-Hilton Scholar 2012–13) for co-editing Approaches to Genre in the Ancient World; and Angela Trentacoste (Mougins Museum Rome Awardee) for winning the 2014 Etruscan Foundation Research Fellowship to continue her ‘Beyond sacrifice’ project. Mattia Toaldo (BSR / Society for Libyan Studies Fellow 2011–13) gave the Olwen Brogan Memorial Lecture on ‘Italy and Libya, post-colonial and post-conflict relations: the Qadhafi regime and the aftermath of the 2011 intervention’ at the British Academy in October 2013; and has been appointed a policy fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations.

Permissions, special visits and film screenings: guided visits included the Villa Farnesina, Forum Romanum, Museo Etrusco di Villa Giulia and the Villa Poniatowsky, Scuderie del Quirinale Augustus exhibition, Vatican Necropolis (Via Triumphalis), Vatican Map Loggia, Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna and Garbatella. BSR residents also visited Villa Bonaparte, the seat of the French Embassy to the Holy See, and the Palazzo Chigi in Ariccia as guests of Approdo Romano, a group dedicated to showing Italian culture to foreign visitors to Rome. Jacopo Benci presented film screenings of Il deserto dei Tartari (1976) by Valerio Zurlini, from Dino Buzzati’s novel; and L’amore in città (1953) by Carlo Lizzani, Michelangelo Antonioni, Dino Risi, Federico Fellini, Francesco Maselli and Alberto Lattuada.

Taught coursesThe BSR offers two annual courses for students of classics and archaeology: the two-week undergraduate Ancient Rome Summer School in September, and the two-month postgraduate City of Rome course in April / May. Both continue to be oversubscribed, and each year there is a healthy application process whereby the BSR is able to select the best students from a wide range of British, Commonwealth and Irish universities. Since the two courses represent the principal starting-point for all serious students from UK institutions engaged in the study of ancient Rome, we are aware of our obligation to ensure not only that the students receive a full and balanced presentation of the ancient monuments and collections, but also that they have the opportunity to observe a fresh and varied range of approaches to the study of antiquity through their exposure to the city’s cosmopolitan array of Italian and foreign academic bodies.

The City of Rome course comprises an eight-week module intended to form one quarter of one year’s full-time postgraduate course at Masters or early Doctoral level. A topographical approach is adopted that provides the most thorough treatment of the ancient city — from its origins to the post-classical period — offered at any academic institution in Rome, Italian or otherwise. One half is devoted to site visits, supplemented by fifteen hours of lectures and seminars by distinguished guest speakers (this year including Amanda Claridge, Filippo Coarelli, Frank Sear, Christopher Smith and Paolo Vitti), with the other part reserved for individual study supervised by the course director. Students present their research projects to the class in seminar form and submit a 6,000-word paper.

In 2014, twelve students attended, from the universities of Exeter, Liverpool, King’s College London, Manchester, Nottingham, Oxford, Sydney and Warwick. The closure of many of the more familiar monuments for urgent restoration works (Domus Aurea, Mausoleum of Augustus, Museo della Civiltà Romana) presented both a challenge and an opportunity, and with the help of Permissions Officer Stefania Peterlini we managed to gain entry to sites never before seen on the course, such as the underground basilica at Porta Maggiore, the mausoleum of Monte del Grano, the Basilica Hilariana and the Turris Omnium Perfectissima of the Aurelianic Walls. Frequently, students were fortunate enough to be guided by the very archaeologists responsible for individual sites’ excavation or restoration: Monica Ceci at Sant’Omobono and the Largo Argentina, Paola Baldassarri at the Palazzo Valentini, Paolo Vitti at

the Mausoleum of Hadrian, Sara Bossi on the Via Sacra excavations, and Roberta Cascino at the BSR’s own flagship excavations at Portus. The outcome of all of this was summed up by one student as follows: ‘I learnt more on this course than I could possibly have imagined. Though it probably hasn’t all sunk in yet, it has almost certainly revolutionised my understanding of the role the city itself played within the history of Rome’.

The Summer School gives undergraduates, often more familiar with the texts than with material remains, an intensive introduction to the city of Rome and its surroundings. A thematic approach is adopted, focusing on the social, economic, political and religious activities that constituted life and death in the ancient city. Each day’s itinerary is introduced with a lecture the previous evening, and the visits integrate the monuments with museum collections and tours of the latest excavations. In 2013, 24 students from eleven universities attended; Ed Bispham, of Brasenose College, Oxford, assisted throughout. The virtues of the method were singled out for particular praise by the participants, with one commenting: ‘The thematic approach provided me with a far greater understanding of ancient customs, such as the triumph, and how ancient Rome functioned as a whole rather than looking at isolated aspects, and how different elements interacted. Though it was a lot of information to absorb in a short space, it was engaging and humorous, and the attention to detail was brilliant’.

Former students from both courses continue to flourish, and the range of institutions where alumni are now working has expanded to include the Universities of Augsburg, Leiden, Santiago de Chile, Sydney, Durham, Exeter, Nottingham, Oxford, Reading, St Andrews and Warwick, as well as the British Museum, the Museum of London, the Estorick Collection, the Victoria & Albert Museum, and the BSR itself. As in previous years, we are grateful for the support that has allowed us to offer this rare opportunity to promising young scholars and future generations of academics.

The Summer School received financial support from the Society for the Promotion of Roman Studies, the Craven Committee of the Faculty of Classics, Oxford University, the Faculty of Classics at the University of Cambridge and the Gladstone Memorial Trust. The City of Rome course was generously supported by the Society for the Promotion of Roman Studies.

Our award-holdersIn the academic year 2013–14, the BSR has had the honour of presenting the outstanding works of its resident artists in three exhibitions, in December, March and June.

For the first, Friday 13th, organised by Jacopo Benci, the BSR presented work by Johann Arens, Marius von Brasch, Julia Davis, Archie Franks, Daniele Genadry, Ann-Marie James, and architect Edward Simpson. At March Mostra, the first show organised by Arts Adviser Marco Palmieri, Ursula Burke, Amanda Davies, Archie Franks, Daniele Genadry, Andrea Medjesi-Jones, Ana Rewakowicz, Daniele Sambo and Edward Simpson showed their work. The final show of this academic year, June Mostra, presented a strong body of works by Ursula Burke, Archie Franks, Daniele Genadry, Mason Kimber, Annika Koops, Cathy Lomax and Tomás Sheridan.

Recent and current award-holders are also highly successful outside the BSR. Andrea Medjesi-Jones (Abbey Fellow in Painting) was selected for Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2014, an annual group show that presents the work of emerging artists. In May, Ursula Burke (Arts Council of Northern Ireland Fellow) was included in a group show at the F.E. McWilliam Gallery, in Banbridge. During her residency, artist Ana Rewakowicz (Québec Resident) continued to develop her ongoing project to rebuild Rome’s Ponte Rotto with the use of temporary inflatable structures. Although her residency was brief, Ana presented the result of her research at the Polish Institute and at the BSR’s March Mostra. She exhibited further material on the Isola Tiberina in June. Artists Daniele Genadry (Abbey Scholar in Painting) and Johann Arens (Rome Fellow in Contemporary Art), with the support of the BSR, presented a group show Hard Copy at Rome’s historical studio complex Pastificio Cerere. Anne-Marie Creamer (Derek Hill Foundation Scholar 2012–13) won the EMERGENCY6 People’s Choice award; and we were delighted that another former award-holder, Laure Prouvost (Max Mara Resident Artist in association with the Whitechapel 2011–12), won the Turner Prize.

For this year’s Spazi Aperti (the annual show organised by the Romanian Academy that brings together the work of numerous international artists), the Romanian Academy invited Ursula Burke, Archie

Franks, Daniele Genadry, Mason Kimber, Annika Koops, Cathy Lomax and Tomás Sheridan to exhibit.

Our programmeThis year has marked the beginning of an ongoing programme of events, in support of the residency programme and its artists and architects. The aim is to create a locus for exchange and dialogue between residents at the BSR and a wider audience, and to add to the rich variety of events offered by the various academies, institutions and museums around Rome.

In October, Felix Davey (Creative Scotland document Fellow 2012–13) returned to the BSR to present a selection of his Rome works, under the title Possible Encounters. Made possible through the support of Creative Scotland and curated by Jacopo Benci, the exhibition was part of the Fotografia festival 2013. In April, Glasgow-based artist Hayley Tompkins visited the BSR and gave a talk, in an annual series of talks by Scotland-based artists, supported by the Craignish Trust. During her presentation, the artist highlighted works shown whilst representing Scotland in a group exhibition at the 55th Venice Biennale, and subsequent solo exhibitions at the Aspen Art Museum in Colorado and Andrew Kreps Gallery in New York. The talk became an open discussion of the philosophical nature of her work, her studio practice, and her continuing interests in both painting and photography.

Also in April, Jacopo Benci organised a discussion between Nicholas Cullinan (Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and Rome Scholar 2004–5) and Ester Coen, a noted Italian contemporary art historian, about the current Matisse show at Tate Modern, and the upcoming Matisse show at Rome’s Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Spring 2015. In May, Jacopo organised a screening of Lorenza Mazzetti’s films K (1953) and Together (1955–6), one of the cornerstones of the British Free Cinema, followed by a conversation with the filmmaker.

In May, American photographer Henry Horenstein presented a talk about his works and practice. We also were delighted to welcome British painter Danny Rolph (Rome Scholar 1998–9), the first visitor in an exciting new collaboration with the Abbey Council, which will bring three artists a year to the BSR to talk about their work and spend time with the current residents.

In addition to the programme of events, the residents have enjoyed studio visits by a number of artists and curators. Members of the BSR’s Faculty of the Fine Arts also have visited the BSR, to talk to the residents and visit their studios; and this year John Gill, Vivien Lovell, Hugh Petter and Karsten Schubert (as well as former Chairs of the Faculty, Robert Adam and Jenni Lomax) have been very welcome guests. The gallerist Valentina Bonomo, renowned for working with many critically acclaimed artists, visited the residents in their studios at the end of 2013, and in January Ann-Marie James presented work at Arte Fiera, in Bologna, with Valentina Bonomo’s gallery. Throughout the year there have been regular studio visits by Adrienne Drake (curator of the Giuliani Foundation), Ilaria Gianni (curator of the Nomas Foundation), Manuela Pacella (freelance curator and writer) and Francesco Buonerba (freelance curator).

This year has seen the continued and invaluable support of interns from various universities. In March, Genevieve Bormes, Minkyung Christina Chung and Grace Rivera, all students from Rhode Island School of Design, helped with the preparations and installation of March Mostra. Emma Papworth, a second year Fine Arts student at the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art, Oxford, spent three weeks in April supporting the resident artists. In June, John Cabot University students Giulia Carletti, Francesca Gallo and Stella Rendina began their internship training period. They supported the residents with the installation and invigilation of June Mostra. In the next academic year, they will each undertake a three-month internship at the BSR.

‘My Scholarship at the BSR this past year provided an unprecedented opportunity of concentrated time in the studio to develop new work with rigour and focus, in an amazing and supportive community. I found that my own practice and research were accelerated by the energy, generosity and respect of all those around me — and the unique situation of having artists and scholars living and working together cultivated surprising and inspiring exchanges. What the BSR offers — the richness of its own resources and community, as well as access to Rome itself — has been incredible (understatement!); and perhaps even more significant, is that it shapes an experience that will continue to resonate in both work and relationships, for years to come.’

David Adjaye’s and Peter Adjaye’s event took place at the MAXXI. The meeting provided a rare occasion to hear the architect and composer discuss their collaborations, which they refer to as an ‘on- going laboratory / library’ called music for architecture. They also showed a selection of films and original compositions that were presented with a live music ensemble for the first time. Focusing on the working process of their collaborations, the Adjayes also discussed how this has influenced the practice of their individual disciplines.

We are pleased that we were successful in producing an extremely high profile and well attended programme, presenting novel research throughout the year. However, because of funding challenges, we had to reduce the number of exhibitions from three to one this year, and are in the process of raising funds in order to keep the exhibition programme too.

The programme is in collaboration with the Royal College of Art, which hosted and will continue to host the lectures in London. Our media partners are Architectural Review in London and Art Tribune in Italy, and podcasts of all the lectures are available on the BSR website. We are also grateful for the support of the Bryan Guinness Charitable Trust, the Cochemé Charitable Trust and the John S. Cohen Foundation.

Meeting Architecture: Architecture and the Creative Process is our most ambitious programme to date. Consisting of lectures, study-exhibitions and performances by some of the leading figures in architecture, art, film and music, it analyses the nature of collaborations between architecture and other creative processes. Some of the main themes in discussion are: the convergences and divergences in sources of inspiration, working methods and aims, and how understanding the creative process of other callings can help develop the practice of one’s own discipline. Most importantly, Meeting Architecture aims to reflect the interdisciplinary and innovative nature of the BSR.

The leading British architect Adam Caruso and the German artist Thomas Demand opened the programme in October 2013. They discussed the nature of their collaborations before a packed audience, while the study-exhibition in the foyer provided a unique opportunity for the public to understand the dynamics of their collaborative working processes. Reviews of the show were extensive and excellent in both Italy and the UK.

In December, the Dutch architect Reiner de Graaf, partner at the world famous OMA and head of the OMA think-tank, AMO, gave a brilliant and characteristically unconventional talk on the definition and nature of collaboration in the work of his office. His talk, in collaboration with the Dutch Embassy, was followed in January by that of Vivien Lovell, Chair of the BSR’s Faculty of the Fine Arts. Vivien gave a fascinating account of art and architecture collaborations, and an appraisal of how artists and architects work together.

In March, we invited Amos Gitai, the Israeli film director. Gitai not only trained as an architect but also is the son of a well-known architect, Munio Weinraub. In 2012, he established Israel’s first museum of architecture in memory of his father. We screened his film Lullaby to my Father, premiered at the 69th Venice International Film Festival, and Gitai then discussed the relationship between architecture and cinema in his work in a fascinating and animated conversation with the public. The event was extremely well attended and organised in collaboration with the French Academy in Rome and the Israeli Embassy.

Portus Project In 2013 we resumed work on the Palazzo Imperiale. This is a 3 ha complex on an isthmus of land at the centre of the port, with very clear views over the Trajanic and Claudian basins.

Attention focused on the range of rooms that ran from east to west along the northern façade of the complex, overlooking the Claudian basin. We excavated the high-status rooms that were arranged around the combined light-well and cistern, which formed the core of a peristyle on at least two storeys. While our work confirmed the Trajanic chronology for the construction of the complex as a whole, it also provided us with clear evidence for a major fifth-century AD phase of refurbishment. This included a polychrome geometric mosaic on the floor of the covered portico of the peristyle, as well as opus sectile decoration for a latrine and adjacent room lying to the north. These results, together with a group of luxuriously decorated rooms to the south, point to continued high-status, and presumably official, activity at the heart of the port during a period of major political change. Our excavations also revealed extensive evidence for the deliberate demolition of the walls and piers of the first-floor rooms, together with debris from the second floor. This seems to have taken place sometime after the definitive Byzantine reconquest of the port from the Ostrogoths in the mid- to later sixth century AD, an issue to be confirmed in future work.

We also focused on the possible shipsheds and their original Trajanic floor. Targeted excavation uncovered more iron and bronze nails that may have been associated with ship construction and repair, as well as abrasion marks on the floor surface. A large section of the floor will be uncovered in 2014 to gain a clearer understanding of the significance of these finds for the function of the building.

This work was undertaken in the context of the Portus Field School, which is organised by the University of Southampton in conjunction with the BSR. The BSR acknowledges the financial and logistical support offered by the Soprintendenza Speciale per i Beni Archeologici di Roma (and in particular Angelo Pellegrino and Renato Sebastiani), our ongoing collaboration with Parsifal Cooperativa di Archeologia (Rome) and with the Università di Roma Tre.

Archaeology at the BSR continues to offer a rich and varied programme of activity, from the excavations at Portus and Segni to the expanding programme of geophysical research, lectures and conferences. Over the past year, the Camerone has worked at sites throughout Italy and also in Africa, in support of local authorities and other institutions from throughout the world. We have been delighted to have supported a variety of projects, including the innovative and exciting San Giovanni in Laterano Project, with Ian Haynes (University of Newcastle) and Paolo Liverani (Università di Firenze), which has been presented both in the joint BSR / Institute of Classical Studies Rome–London Lecture Series and in an extremely well-attended and fascinating BSR UK event in June. A full account of our own work, and that of associated projects, can be found in Papers of the British School at Rome.

collaborated to provide a full high-definition laser scan of the monument and a detailed ground-penetrating radar survey in the surrounding area. The project will see the excavation of the monument, its conservation and the removal of the surrounding modern building. Throughout the work, the project held numerous open days for the public, as well as organising lectures and writing news articles.

The BSR gratefully acknowledges the support given to the project by the Comune di Segni, in particular the previous Mayor, Stefano Corsi, and current Mayor, Maria Assunta Boccardelli, as well as Valente Spigone, Francesco Maria Cifarelli and Federica Colaiacomo. The project also enjoys the support of the Soprintendente per i Beni Archeologici del Lazio, Elena Calandra, and the inspector for the area, Alessandro Betori.

Geophysics research projectsThe British School at Rome’s geophysics team, led by Sophie Hay (Archaeological Prospection Service of the University of Southampton), was invited to join three long-standing British Museum archaeological projects in Sudan, which form part of the Qatar–Sudan Archaeological Project. The overall project sets out to conserve and manage Sudanese archaeological heritage. Our role at each of the three sites was to use geophysical survey techniques to answer research questions by placing the known archaeological remains into a broader context.

The Amara West project is directed by Neal Spencer, Keeper of the Department of Ancient Egypt and Sudan. The walled town of Amara West, in the northern reaches of Sudan, once stood on an island in the river Nile and, founded by Seti I, it was the administrative capital of Upper Nubia during the Kushite Period 19th and 20th dynasties (c. 1307–1070 BC). This year the challenge was to investigate with ground-penetrating radar the topography of the island. An ancient, now dried up, channel of the Nile surrounds the site on its north side, and we were asked to profile it in order to understand exactly where the Nile ran and the processes that caused it to dry up.

The site of Kawa, founded by Pharaoh Akhenaten in c. 1350 BC, became a particularly important early Kushite settlement under Taharqa, with a temple dedicated to Amun. The town was abandoned in the fourth century AD, and since then has lain largely undisturbed. Derek Welsby, Assistant Keeper, has directed the project at Kawa and our results show that occupation at the site may have been much more limited than previously thought. The third site was Dangeil,

Segni ProjectBuilding upon the success of the first year of work at Segni, the project conducted a rich programme of fieldwork, public lectures and research throughout the academic year, led on behalf of the BSR by the Molly Cotton Fellow, Stephen Kay. The annual excavation, which permitted eighteen international students to gain excavation experience, focused upon two sites within the town. At Prato Felici, at the summit of the acropolis, the excavation revealed the full size of the previously unknown structure discovered last year. Measuring 37 m in length by 13 m in width, and built in opus signinum (a technique in fact named after the town), the structure appears to be a monumental-sized pool or cistern, built in the second century BC. The second excavation, at Piazza Santa Maria in the heart of the town, has revealed more rooms and mosaics from the building discovered the previous year, which appears to be a rich Roman domus.

The fruitful partnership with the Museo Archeologico di Segni continued later in the year with the beginning of the recovery of the famous Roman nymphaeum of Q. Mutius. The BSR and University of Southampton

directed by Julie Anderson, Assistant Keeper. Dangeil was a powerful royal city in the Kingdom of Kush between the eighth century BC and the fourth century AD. Excavations undertaken since 2000 have uncovered a first-century AD temple complex dedicated to the god Amun, and the monumental gateway, or ‘pylon’, into the temple was just one of the new discoveries.

In addition, BSR and APSS geophysicists have been busy on a number of sites in Italy, continuing work at Interamna Lirenas with the University of Cambridge; in Calabria in collaboration with the University of Groningen; at San Giovenale with the Swedish Academy in Rome; and at Gerace in Sicily with the University of British Columbia.

This year saw the initiation of a BSR-led, large-scale integrated survey project at Lucus Feroniae, thanks to the valuable support of the Roger De Haan Charitable Trust. This generous grant has allowed us to work proactively in choosing exciting sites. Lucus Feroniae fits superbly into our research themes of

Landscape and Urbanscape, and early findings suggest that it has much to contribute to an understanding of the urban development of Roman Italy.

Supporting archaeologyThe Camerone warmly thanks two of its staff who have left to take up other positions over the past year. Roberta Cascino, Research Assistant at the BSR, has begun her doctoral studies at the University of Southampton, continuing the research that contributed to the publication of the restudy of John Ward-Perkins’s material from Veii last year. Alice James, Geophysics Research Assistant for the past two years, is thanked for her wonderful contribution to the BSR; she has joined AOC Archaeology in York, and we wish her well.

Library and Archive

John Osborn and John Beale have contributed to a new Library research project led by Roey Sweet (University of Leicester and member of the BSR’s Faculty of Archaeology, History and Letters), on Sir William Gell (1777–1836). Their gift has funded the restoration and digitisation of two of the six notebooks, purchased by Thomas Ashby in Naples, and conserved in the Library. The aim of the project is to produce a biography of Gell and reunite virtually all his notebooks, which are to be found in institutions around the world.

The Collecting and Trade of Antiquities in Late Nineteenth- and Early Twentieth-century Rome: the John Marshall and Edward Percy Warren Archives is the title of a major research project based on Marshall’s archive held in the BSR. A pilot project, generously funded by Christian Levett, was successfully completed last year by Guido Petruccioli, and the importance of the material was confirmed. The application for funding for an eighteen-month research project made to the Committee for British Academy-sponsored Institutes and Societies, for a Strategic Development Programme project grant, was successful, and this grant (£50,000) has been enhanced already by a further generous grant from Christian Levett to support the digitisation and cataloguing of the archive.

This year has seen the publication also of two volumes in the British School at Rome Archive series.

A remarkably successful development campaign for the Library and Archive, led by our colleague Mary Ellen Mathewson, has provided us with the funding not only to complete some of our ongoing projects, but also to launch exciting new initiatives. The Library and Archive team has been particularly fortunate in benefiting from Mary Ellen’s commitment, encouragement, expertise and hard work over the last three years. Another result of this achievement is that, once again, we have many friends and supporters to acknowledge and thank.

First, a new friend, Nicholas Stanley, President of the Ashby Society, is generously supporting the Library and Archive in many ways; and old friends, John and Ginnie Murray, whose continuing generosity through the John R. Murray Charitable Foundation, has allowed us to purchase a state-of-the-art Zeutschel scanner, for the use of both Library readers and colleagues. Apart from providing a new service, this will also guarantee long-term sustainable income to finance the annual Rare Books Maintenance project. Our conservator, Gina Antonazzo, visits three times a year to clean and check the state of the now completely refurbished rare book collection, a project that was also financed by the Murray Foundation.

We must thank the Trustees of the Leche Trust for the generous funding of the digitisation of the James Hakewill drawings, which will be published on our digital collections website (www.bsrdigitalcollections.it). Hakewill’s Grand Tour from 1816 to 1817 produced over 300 drawings, and he later published a book, A Picturesque Tour of Italy, from Drawings made in 1816–1817 (London, 1820), including 63 engravings based on the drawings that will also be digitised (coincidentally, of all the publishers in London at the time, it was John Murray that published Hakewill’s book). The grant will also fund the complete restoration of the BSR’s copy, which is in a very bad state of repair. We would like to thank Ian Bristow for his support and interest in this project.

Peter and Anne Wiseman have, once again, funded the completion of another important project, the John Henry Parker collection of early photographs of monuments and archaeological sites in Rome. Six hundred new digital images have been added to the website already, and the remaining photographs will be available later in the autumn. Coach, a drawing from the James Hakewill collection

Delfino, and the major sponsor, Banca di Sassari — Gruppo BPER, our Sardinian colleagues, too numerous to mention but, in particular, Giuseppina Manca di Mores and Marcello Madau, and everyone who worked to make this project such a success. This volume is the twelfth in the British School at Rome Archive series, and the seventh catalogue of the Ashby collection. Sardinian enogastronomic delights were offered by sponsors, and once again this project has been entirely externally funded. The exhibition has left for Sardinia and will be travelling around the island for the next year.

There is more good news, however. The Trustees of the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation have awarded us a generous grant to fund the translation of the catalogue, which will be published as an English edition, and we are very grateful for this support. We have also received funding from the PF Charitable Trust and Jim Ball that will allow us to commission Stefano Ciol to digitise to the highest quality the remaining photographs of Sardinia taken by Thomas Ashby.

Once again we must acknowledge the members of the extraordinary Library and Archive team, who have worked together to produce high-quality research projects, publications, exhibitions and digital collections, over and above the day-to-day running of the Library and Archive, the management of nearly 40 readers a day, the provision of services and maintaining a specialist research Library for our resident award-holders in the humanities and the fine arts.

We end with thanks to our major donor, David Packard, through the Packard Humanities Institute, who has supported the Library for over a decade, in 2000 with the Centenary building project and, subsequently, funding two part-time members of the Library team — without this support we never could have achieved this level of activity, and we are very grateful.

In March 2014 the second volume of photographs by Robert Gardner (1889–1972; Craven Fellow 1912–14), edited by Laura Castrianni and Giuseppe Ceraudo, La Regina Viarum e la via Traiana: da Benevento a Brindisi nelle foto della collezione Gardner, accompanied by an exhibition, was presented at the BSR. Our thanks go to the editors, the Università di Salento, Lecce, and the publisher, Silvio Sallicandro, Delta 3 Edizioni.

The Thomas Ashby photographic collection continues to offer surprises. Over 100 people attended the special event on 15 May for the opening of the exhibition and presentation of the catalogue edited by Giuseppina Manca di Mores, La Sardegna di Thomas Ashby. Fotografie 1906–1912. Paesaggi, archeologia, comunità. We would like to thank the publisher, Carlo

of academic libraries that held the volume in 2010. The whole archive of volumes is also available through Cambridge Journals Online (as well as through JStor). Starting with an appreciation of David Whitehouse (1941–2013; BSR Director 1984–94), topics covered by the articles include Archaic Etruscan palaces, the marble plan of Rome, bars in Pompeii and Herculaneum, the coinage of Antoninus Pius, and an analysis of the documentary, iconographic and archaeological sources for Herculaneum from AD 79 to the medieval period. The volume concludes with a newly-expanded Archaeological Fieldwork Reports section, and the short Research Reports by the BSR award-holders: we hope that the latter provide a foretaste of articles that will appear in the Papers in the future.

Saint Peter’s basilica in Rome is arguably the most important church in western Christendom. However the edifice that is so familiar to us today is only 400 years old, though a church has stood on the site since the fourth century. A group of archaeologists, architectural and art historians, historians and liturgists gathered at the BSR in March 2010 to explore aspects of the original basilica’s history, and Old Saint Peter’s, Rome, edited by Rosamond McKitterick, John Osborne, Carol M. Richardson and Joanna Story, brings these fascinating and revealing discussions to a wider audience. Dedicated to Maria Pia Malvezzi, who as BSR’s Secretary from 1979 to 2012 was responsible for having opened so many doors for scholars, this volume is the second in our British School at Rome Studies series with Cambridge University Press. As HBM’s Ambassador to the Holy See, Nigel Baker, notes in the foreword, ‘… all who have collaborated on this volume have done us a great service. We shall no longer be able to look on Saint Peter’s through the same historical lens’.

Ocriculum (Otricoli, Umbria): an Archaeological Survey of the Roman Town, by Sophie Hay, Simon Keay and Martin Millett, epitomises the collaborations that happen at the BSR, with the splendid image on the cover being a work by Geoff Uglow (Sainsbury Scholar in Painting and Sculpture 2002–4). The remarkable extent, state of preservation and monuments of Ocriculum make this one of the most important archaeological sites in ancient Italy. Located close to the Tiber, north of Rome on the Via Flaminia, many travellers, including Goethe and Turner, were drawn to Otricoli and its landscape, lured by its beauty. Significant monumental remains of the Roman town are still visible: the amphitheatre, the theatre, the forum area, basilica, baths and nymphaeum. This volume presents the results of the geophysical and field surveys in 2002–5, and adds greatly to our understanding of the ancient town, telling a different story to that usually told of Roman towns in terms of scale, layout and organisation, as well as architectural and sculptural finds; and thus contributes significantly to debate on Roman urbanism.

The reach of Papers of the British School at Rome has, for yet another year running, continued to grow significantly, now with a ten-fold increase in the number

and foundations remain vital, especially in the area of our arts residencies. Project funding from these sources, and from individuals, is increasingly critical to permit us to identify and complete some of the most exciting and challenging work, for instance in the Library and in archaeology.

Finally, as we have signalled in previous Annual Reviews, the BSR is taking on the challenge of dealing with some of its long-term maintenance challenges. The BSR Second Century Campaign aims to provide a sustainable residence, a hundred years after the first scholars came to stay in 1916. The benefits include a watertight roof; more efficient heating; lighting and ventilation, not least in our wonderful studios; protection for the books in the old basement; and a gallery that has temperature and humidity control, allowing us to mount cutting-edge exhibitions. Energy costs will be reduced by a third.

The cost of these works is a small investment, given how well the building has functioned and survived over its first century, but it is a necessary investment if the BSR is to continue to be a space in which a unique and precious sense of community can be sustained and fostered. Work will begin in 2015.

Every contribution, from membership, to advocacy, to a lead gift, goes — as can be seen from our financial report — directly to support creativity and research.

As the preceding sections show, the BSR has been immensely successful in attracting external funding for its activities. The basis of course remains the core grant from the British Academy, but the rich programme of events and the array of projects described above rests heavily on the individuals, trusts and foundations who support our work.

In 2009–10 it was clear that the BSR needed to raise its game significantly in external fundraising. The appointment of Mary Ellen Mathewson was a huge stroke of fortune for the BSR; her energy, enthusiasm and determination have made an enormous change to the way the BSR approaches fundraising. The optimism that is essential to persuading others to believe in our mission has characterised all Mary Ellen’s endeavours. Our new Development Director, Elizabeth Rabineau, will be building on the strong and professional foundation laid down by Mary Ellen to take us to the next phase of our fundraising.

The clear aim of the BSR is to build on a strong platform of support from individual Members. Becoming a Member of the BSR, and sustaining that membership over time, offers vital assistance to our activities. The Ashby Society is a lead giving group, which is making an increasingly important contribution, and we are delighted to welcome Nicholas Stanley as its President. Nicholas has huge experience in the charitable sector, and we are looking forward to working with him. Trusts

We have every reason to be proud of this record, especially given a spend of only 28p per pound of development income. Given the constraints within which the BSR operates as an entity that cannot generate commercial income, this performance reflects the determination and energy, but also the responsible attitudes to finance, of all staff at the BSR.

This year we are beginning to see income flowing for the Sustainable Building Project. We have in this year absorbed £64 k of cost for the building project and yet maintained responsible expenditure on other short-term maintenance and improvements to IT and administration.

Financial resultsThe surplus of income compared with expenditure on unrestricted activities amounted to £239,000 in the year ended 31 March 2014, before transfers to unrestricted funds of income originally received as restricted income that has now become available to the BSR to use for its general objectives, and before gains arising on the investment portfolio.

As at 31 March 2014, the BSR’s unrestricted funds amounted to £3,547,000. These funds include designated funds of £1,615,000 set aside by Council for research and scholarship grants and for capital expenditure, and the value (£500,000) ascribed to the Library of books, papers, manuscripts and pictures — many of which are considered irreplaceable.

The funds also include unrealised revaluation surpluses on the BSR’s investment portfolio. Council’s policy is that the level of general funds, after eliminating unrealised surpluses and excluding all designated and restricted funds, should not fall below three nor exceed twelve months’ core running costs of the BSR.

The BSR’s investments, excluding cash held on deposit, were valued at £2,691,000 at 31 March 2014. The investment portfolio is managed by external advisers whose performance is reviewed annually by Council. During the year 2013–14 the realised and unrealised gains amounted to £159,000.

Future developmentsThe focus of the past four years has been to create the basis for a determined effort to reduce the BSR cost base, and to improve income generation.

This report should be read alongside the trustees’ report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2014 available at www.bsr.ac.uk.

Governance of the BSRThe British School at Rome has a Council and two advisory Faculties. Those who serve bring to bear specific and general skills. Members of Council are trustees of the BSR. The Council’s primary role is in the general management and sustainability of the BSR, and the two Faculties advise on humanities, fine arts and publications, with a specific responsibility for making awards.

The BSR has robust policies on risk management and has approved a Corporate and Research Strategy, all available at www.bsr.ac.uk. This Annual Review, with its account of the BSR’s objectives, activities and achievements, constitutes our statement of public benefit.

Financial reviewThe BSR relies primarily on four sources of regular income: the grant from the British Academy; the income from its own reserves; the income from trusts and foundations, generously given for specific purposes especially in terms of awards; and the income from the Residence. In addition, we are fortunate to receive support from the Packard Humanities Institute to support extended Library opening to the public, and from our engagement with the Herculaneum Conservation Project. Furthermore, we have sought other forms of income from, and been supported in other ways by, a variety of charitable trusts and foundations, which are acknowledged on our website.

Income and expenditure in 2013–14Once again, it is our strong performance in fundraising that has led to a positive outcome for the year to March 2014. We have seen a stable grant from the British Academy, but funding from the Packard Humanities Institute for the Herculaneum Conservation Project will shift from 2014–15 to a new foundation. Residential and scholarship income is a key part of our financial performance, and we are grateful to the many trusts, foundations and individuals who have supported us.

Yet again the BSR has more than matched its government grant with income from its own resources.

28 ANNUAL REVIEW 2013–14

The priorities as we move forward are the protection of the uniquely valuable resource represented by the Library, and the regrowth of our scholarship and residency programme. Our focus on supporting research and creativity across the full range of arts and humanities, including visual art and architecture, and social sciences, remains unwavering. Shifting resource as we must do from administration to research requires difficult choices and innovative solutions. However, we would wish to emphasise that practically none of our activity does not support directly our research goals. Almost 95% of our expenditure in 2013–14 was on activities directly related to, or supportive of, research. The staff restructuring we have undertaken also has focused investment on research and support for research.

We face the major challenge of repairing our roof and addressing difficult issues of energy saving and generation in the face of rising fuel costs; the latter constitutes our second largest cost after staff.

2013–14 saw nearly £800 k raised in donations and pledges. This striking success will need to be carried through into the next financial year, but at the same time the BSR must continue to maintain its annual giving as an essential income stream, given the gap between government funding and our total expenditure. The combination of a strong balance sheet, a prudent approach to costs in what remains a difficult financial environment, and at the same time a solid investment in outstanding research and creative practice, remains the basis for our case for continuing support from Members and supporters.

Year after year, the BSR has matched its government grant, and reinvested its income in the academic and creative future of the UK and Commonwealth.
