Great works of art and architecture are the highest expressions of a civilization’s values. Supporting the AIRC’s conservation and preservation projects, donors become caretakers of the world’s cultural history and are fundamental to preserving cultural heritage sites of our past.
Each year, the AIRC hosts scholars and students from North America and Europe who come to Rome to share their expertise, conduct research and promote the exchanging of ideas in the fields of historic preservation, archaeology, and humanistic studies.
