CHAIRMAN’S FOREWORD
It has become commonplace to say that the BSR’s output and range of activity are exceptionally wide. But
this review demonstrates not only the breadth and depth of our activities but also, as the Director’s report
makes clear, the unifying stability of purpose which runs through all of what we do. This may seem difficult
when our areas of activity expand. The Humanities programme, for instance, averages more than a lecture
or conference a week. Geophysics has been another expanding area with several new projects and we
have collaborated on events with the Università degli Studi Roma Tre on their master plan to reorganise
Rome’s Central Archaeological Area. A special BSR exhibition of historic and contemporary photographs
from our archives showcased works by recent and current Fine Arts award-holders at my old Residence,
the Villa Wolkonsky, to celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee. The beginning of our collaboration with Cambridge
University Press to publish the Papers of the British School at Rome has exponentially increased the
number of academic libraries who enjoy access to them. This illustrative list could be duplicated many
times over and indeed dozens of similar examples are to be found in the following pages. In short, it has
been a year of strong performance across all fields.
While we have maintained our position as one of the most active institutions of its kind in Rome, we
have also become far more widely recognised and not just in the academic community. For instance, the
latter half of 2012 will see programmes on the BBC featuring the work of the Portus Project, on RAI on the
Herculaneum Conservation Project, on ABC (Australia) on a project on digital mapping for the Roman
Campagna that involves the BSR Library, and collaboration between BSR-related academics and Simon
Sebag Montefiore on a BBC series on religion in Rome. The success of the Ashby and the Abruzzo exhibition
and the three million hits on the Library and Archive digital collections website are all part of this picture.
This wider recognition (and awareness) is welcome in its own right in helping to bring our wide-ranging
activity to a larger public. It also meets our aim to achieve better outreach to other institutions with whom
we can work and to potential supporters on whom we must increasingly expect to rely. Under the tutelage
of our Development Officer, Mary Ellen Mathewson, private support is helping us wean ourselves away
from over-reliance on public funds. It also gives us the necessary credibility to approach other potential
major donors with our core message that the BSR’s leading position as an international humanities
research institution deserves to be and should be maintained. We are enormously grateful to all those
readers who already support our work, whether it be through the Annual Fund, the Rome Prize, the Rickman
Fund or through membership of the newly formed Ashby Society. I would urge those who have yet to do so
to add your contribution to ensure that the BSR is preserved as a unique asset with its own coherent and
cohesive sense of purpose and as a distinct brand.
Internally, in the face of financial stringency, which all public institutions are now accustomed to
confront, the BSR has sharpened its financial performance significantly. Difficult decisions have been taken
and further ones lie ahead as we are particularly exposed to the vagaries of the sterling-euro exchange rate.
Our greatest challenge will be the implementation of the recommendations of a British Academy-supported
survey of our roof and energy needs. Financially this will be demanding but it will also allow us to combine
research into sustainability with the practice of what we research. That is, after all, one of the hallmarks of
the BSR. While the Council and I are enormously grateful to the Director and all his team in Rome and
London, I should like to conclude with particular thanks to the Director’s Assistant, Elly Murkett, whose
support to the Council in general and its Chairman in particular, has as always been exemplary.

DIRECTOR’S REPORT
It is one of the characteristics of successful focused institutions that they can grow, change and react
without losing their essence. The British School at Rome is always changing, and that reinvention is one
of the most exciting aspects of our life together. From week to week new residents, new ideas and new
events refresh what we do and what we are thinking about. Yet there is an underlying stability of purpose
which characterises the BSR and we have seldom needed it more.
All publicly funded institutions must be able to justify their existence in straitened financial times. It is
often difficult for us to explain the unique role which the BSR has, and the diversity of activity might seem
confusing. We would argue the converse; that there is a unity of purpose within what we do, which
sustains the inspiration that is found here, and brings people back time and again.
Our strategy begins with research, whether that be through artistic and architectural practice or
through scholarship. The extraordinary level of activity at the BSR, generated both by our own
residents, and by external collaborations, has made us one of the most active and recognised foreign
institutions in Rome, and across a wide range of areas. Critical to this success, however, is the
emphasis on the quality of what we do. Collaborations with leading universities and cultural
institutions, in Rome and internationally, are increasingly critical. One of our goals has been to become
more connected, more recognised. It was a pleasure for me to visit many BSR friends in Canada in
autumn 2011, and I was very grateful for the warm hospitality and chance to encourage new
relationships. We are reaching more people all the time, whether it be thorough collaborative
conferences, like the lively last day of the conference on early colonisation which we hosted, or
through the increasing visibility of our artists in shows outside the BSR, or through reunions such as
the marvellous event at the Royal Academy Schools, kindly hosted by Eliza Bonham-Carter, at which
around a hundred former Fine Arts award-holders gathered from every decade running back to the
1940s. The Ashby and the Abruzzo exhibition has been seen by 35,000 people, and we have recorded
three million hits on the BSR Library and Archive digital collections website. Underpinning all of this is
a century-long culture of excellence and achievement.
Our core value remains to be deeply rooted in our local culture and context in Rome, but to reach out
from there as widely as we can. Our range takes us from policy makers to film makers, from the study of
Roman ceramics to the elections in post-Gaddafi Libya, from the study of portraits to the painting of
portraits, from architectural history to
cutting-edge design. Our work and our
environment should be challenging; it must
inspire.
As just one indication of the superb
research synergies created at the BSR, the
presence at one time of a scholar of
contemporary Libya, an architect studying
the Italian impact on architecture in
Mogadishu and a portraitist working on
black Africans in Italy was enriching both
for the individuals concerned, and was
hugely promising for future work both in
these subject areas, and collaborations

DIRECTOR’S REPORT
I remain convinced that this unique combination of disciplines under one roof enriches debate and
produces work which is stronger, more robust and more rounded. The fascination of Rome pulls together
our different intellectual trajectories, and allows this interchange. The result is achievement at the highest
level. Two of the five Turner Prize-shortlisted artists for 2012 are former BSR award-holders. We continue
to support the development of scholars who go on — even in the toughest of job markets — to secure
outstanding positions and produce outstanding work. Again, as only one example amongst many, it has
been a pleasure to see the success of Catherine Fletcher’s fascinating work on British Ambassadors to
Rome in the age of Henry VIII. A new taught course in Roman epigraphy is another sign of our role in
supporting the research infrastructure of the UK and beyond. This is what makes the BSR so vital and
important; we enrich the minds and inspire the work of those who lead the way for future generations.
EXCELLENCE
IN
RESEARCH
Humanities (Dr Joanna Kostylo)
This has been a challenging yet exceptionally
rewarding year for me as the new Assistant Director,
and I am very grateful for generous support from staff
and residents. The year saw further expansion of the
Humanities programme, with over 70 lectures, book
presentations and conferences, covering topics
ranging from the Roman archaic economy and ancient
medicine to Renaissance copyright, art patronage,
Italian football and current affairs.
The year started with a series of major
international conferences. ‘The Image We Are: Face,
Portrait and Identity’, organised jointly with the Swiss
Institute, the Centre for Image Research of the
University of Basel and the Galleria Nazionale d’Arte
Moderna in Rome, brought together experts from a
variety of fields, including art history, science,
aesthetics, ethics, psychology and philosophy to
stimulate new reflections on portraiture. ‘Our Future’s
Past: Sustainable Cultural Heritage in the Twentyfirst Century’, organised with the American University
of Rome, brought together case studies from dozens
of different countries including ones in South
America and Africa.
Another important landmark conference was
‘Roma fuori Roma: lo Stato Pontificio e le esportazioni
di opera d’arte tra il 1775 e il 1870’, held in
collaboration with the Università degli Studi Roma
Tre, the University of Calabria and the State
Nicholas Temple and award-holders in the Stanza
della Segnatura, Vatican

DIRECTOR’S REPORT
University of Milan. The conference revealed Rome’s role as a cosmopolitan centre of artistic production,
which gathered artists and art collectors from as far as Russia, Poland, Chile, Mexico and North America.
This interest in the dissemination of Italian arts and tastes across the world intersects with the BSR’s
current research on the ‘peripheries’ of the Grand Tour. This is represented in the lecture by Paola Bianchi
(University of Valle d’Aosta), ‘A voyage to Italy in search of modernity: English gentlemen in eighteenthcentury Turin’, a forerunner to the conference ‘Torino Britannica: Turin as the Gate of the Grand Tour’
(planned for June 2013), which will be the next project in the series begun with the conference ‘Roma
Britannica’ in 2006.
A further highlight was the presentation of the special volume of the Bollettino d’Arte entitled Tombs
of Illustrious Italians at Rome. The volume reproduces drawings of approximately 200 tombs dating back
to the thirteenth century. Originally linked to the Paper Museum of Cassiano dal Pozzo, the drawings are
held at the Royal Library at Windsor and the Librarian and Curator of the Print Room, Lady Roberts,
travelled from the UK to mark the occasion. This is not the first time that an album from Cassiano dal
Pozzo’s Paper Museum has been presented at the BSR; present in the audience was Ian Campbell, who coauthored the catalogue of the architectural drawings from the Paper Museum, A Catalogue Raisonné:
Ancient Roman Topography and Architecture.
Less formal events like workshops and seminars encourage direct scholarly engagement. This was the
case with a series of archaeology workshops: ‘Sistema di trasporto e commercio: Portus e il Mediterraneo’,
organised in collaboration with the Soprintendenza Speciale per i Beni Archeologici di Roma and the École
française de Rome; ‘Subterranean Archaeology in Italy. The Lateran and Beyond’, hosted by the BSR in
conjunction with Newcastle University; and the ‘Fish and Ships’ doctoral workshop organised by the École
française de Rome, in collaboration with the BSR, the Oxford Roman Economy Project and the Centre
Camille Jullian (Aix-en-Provence). The BSR also hosted ‘Early “Christian” Epigraphy and Iconography’,
organised by Allen Brent (Cambridge) and Markus Vinzent (King’s College, London).
A closed round table discussion on ‘Libya: What Happened and What Next?’, organised by Mattia
Toaldo (BSR/Society for Libyan Studies Fellow), was followed by an afternoon seminar on the history of
Italian-Libyan relations, analysing representations and self-presentations of Jews from Libya in Italy led by
Barbara Spadaro (BSR/Society for Libyan Studies Fellow). These workshops present a new line of research
at the BSR in collaboration with the Society for Libyan Studies and supported by the British Academy; more
events are planned for next year.
Rome’s most famous artistic treasures like the frescoes in the Vatican Stanza della Segnatura never
cease to inspire scholarly and artistic interest. In a lecture delivered in March, Mary Jacobus
(Cambridge/Cornell) explored the response of the Rome-based American painter Cy Twombly (1928–2011)
to Raphael’s Vatican Stanza. Like Raphael’s iconic frescoes, Twombly’s paintings both concern and require
‘reading’ by the viewer — reading that solicits critical engagement with Rome’s Renaissance legacy. Such
a reading was offered by Nicholas Temple (Paul Mellon Centre Rome Fellow) who examined the interrelationships between the iconographic and topographical orientations of the frescoes, in a lecture based
on a chapter of his recently published book, Renovatio Urbis: Architecture, Urbanism and Ceremony in the
Rome of Julius II. The presentation was combined with an award-holders’ visit to the Stanza.
Two literary events — a presentation by William Dalrymple, organised with the Keats-Shelley House
and also part of the Architecture programme, and a one-day seminar celebrating Dickens’s bicentenary,
hosted in conjunction with the British Council — illustrate the increasing diversity of disciplines
represented in the BSR’s Events programme.

DIRECTOR’S REPORT
Finally, 2011–12 has been a year of new initiatives and improvements, with a redesigned BSR events
newsletter and a new BSR Twitter account. We can now tweet from the top of Trajan’s column telling the
world about one of the most exciting site visits this year! Another important initiative is the launch of the
BSR Conference Support Scheme which aims to promote interdisciplinary research and collaboration on
Rome and Italy that will enhance the BSR’s academic profile.
Archaeology (Professor Simon Keay)
This has been another busy year for the Camerone. Work has continued at Portus and the Isola Sacra, while
a new pan-Mediterranean research project bid has been submitted to the European Research Council
(ERC). Geophysical surveys have continued to be undertaken at sites of considerable historical interest in
Italy and beyond, while the BSR is also partnering an exciting new research initiative at San Giovanni in
Laterano in Rome. The Camerone also continues to process applications for concessioni, and access to its
archive has been opened this year thanks to the work of Roberta Cascino.
The Roman Ports Project
The Portus Project addresses the changing relationship of Rome to the Mediterranean throughout the
Imperial period by looking at Rome’s greatest port. A combination of innovative archaeological scientific
techniques allows us to investigate the layout and development of Portus, as well as other key ports in
Italy and the Mediterranean, and to learn more about their trading relationships and the people that
frequented them. In 2011–12 the project, which is directed by Simon Keay, undertook the fieldwork
detailed below, helping further reinforce the BSR’s role as a major hub for the study of Roman ports, with
close collaborative links to the University of Southampton, the Soprintendenza Speciale per i Beni
Archeologici di Roma, the universities of Cambridge, Oxford, Lyon, Aix-en-Provence and Roma Tre, the
Cooperativa Parsifal, the BBC and other institutions. The support of Duke Ascanio Sforza Cesarini is also
gratefully acknowledged.
Excavations and Survey at Portus and in its Hinterland
A fifth season of fieldwork was undertaken at Portus in April and early May of 2012. Work undertaken in
2008, 2009 and 2011 had suggested that the area to the east of the Palazzo Imperiale was occupied by two
distinct buildings of similar width. The first of these (Building 5) was thought to extend eastwards for
approximately 60 metres, while the second (Building 7) continued for approximately another 135 metres in
the direction of the eastern angle of the Trajanic basin. This past year’s work has now revealed that these
buildings are in fact a single building circa 247 metres in length (henceforth known as Building 5). It has
been tentatively identified as the shipsheds (navalia) of Portus. Most of the 2011–12 fieldwork consisted
of surface clearance and topographic work along the standing structures of the northern façade of the
building, while limited clearance was also undertaken along its southern façade. Our re-examination has
revealed a northwards continuation of the large bays and passages documented in 2008 and 2009, and
allows us to understand at last the patterned sequence of bays and passages along the whole of the
northern frontage. In addition to this work, clearance and topographical survey were undertaken on a
separate structure that lies beyond the angle of the Trajanic basin in the lands of the Duke Sforza Cesarini.
It also consists of parallel bays similar to those of Building 5, although subtle differences in its general
7
DIRECTOR’S REPORT
alignment and in the position of its piers
indicate that it was a separate building.
Additional work at Portus consisted of a
topographical survey of Severan structures
on the northern side of the Grandi Magazzini di Settimio Severo, the large latersecond-century AD warehouse complex
that lies to the south-west of the Palazzo
Imperiale.
The Vice-Chancellor of the University of
Southampton, Professor Don Nutbeam,
accompanied by the Dean of the Faculty of
Humanities, Professor Anne Curry, visited
the BSR in November 2011 and were guided
around the ongoing excavations at Portus by
Simon Keay.
The work of the Portus Project will
feature in a BBC 1 programme in late 2012
that will focus upon the use of high-precision
satellite imagery to add to our knowledge of
key sites across the Roman Empire. Several
new sites at the Isola Sacra and at Portus
were identified by Sarah Parcak (University
of Alabama) and were followed up by
targeted geophysics undertaken by the
Portus Project funded by the BBC.
Other port-based work
The BSR and Archaeological Prospection
Services, Southampton (APSS) geophysicists undertook the geophysical survey of
the site of the mattatoio, near Monte
View of clearance works along the northern façade of Building 5
Testaccio, in conjunction with the Soprinat Portus
tendenza Speciale per i Beni Archeologici
di Roma. The aim is to learn more about a
major Roman warehouse in this part of the river port (emporium) of Imperial Rome. The BSR and the
University of Southampton also submitted a major European funding bid (ERC Advanced Grant) as planned,
that foresees a programme of integrated geophysical survey and geomorphological study of a number of
key ports across the Mediterranean, including Portus, Pozzuoli, Cádiz, Utica, Tarragona, Ephesus and Pitane
in association with a number of major European institutions. This will build upon some of our earlier work
at other Mediterranean sites in previous years. Finally, the BSR, the University of Southampton, the École
française de Rome and the Soprintendenza Speciale per i Beni Archeologici di Roma also held a one-day
workshop at the BSR in June 2012 to launch a new research initiative focused upon the Tiber delta.

DIRECTOR’S REPORT
Geophysics Research Projects
The geophysics team at the BSR, led by
Sophie Hay (APSS), continues to undertake
numerous surveys at major sites throughout
Italy. Over the past year, survey has
continued for a second season at Interamna
Lirenas, part of the Roman Colonial
Landscapes project directed by Alessandro
Launaro and Martin Millett (University of
Cambridge). The team has also been
working elsewhere in southern Italy with
Federico Marazzi, to survey the Norman
abbey of San Salvatore Telesino in
Campania. The stunning georadar results,
which locate the cloisters and other
monastic buildings, will support its future
investigation by the Università degli Studi
Suor Orsola Benincasa (Naples) in
collaboration with the Comune di San
Salvatore Telesino. The team also maintained their involvement in the Pompeii
Archaeological Research Project: Porta
Stabia, directed by Steven Ellis (University
of Cincinnati) and Eric Poehler (University of
Massachusetts Amherst), surveying the
portico of the quadriporticus. An extensive
geophysical survey, combining magnetometery and georadar, was conducted at
the site of a second-century AD Roman villa
near Enna in central Sicily on behalf of
Roger Wilson (University of British
Columbia).

Field Projects
One key initiative is a major new research
project at Segni in southern Lazio, codirected by Francesco Maria Cifarelli and
Christopher Smith. The BSR has signed a
three-year joint research agreement with the Archaeological Museum at Segni in order to undertake
geophysical survey, and to study and excavate key monuments of Segni, including the famous Temple of
Juno Moneta and the site of the forum beneath the central square in front of the medieval cathedral. The
first season of excavation was undertaken in September 2012 by a joint team from the Archaeological
Museum of Segni and the BSR, led by Francesco Maria Cifarelli and Stephen Kay.

DIRECTOR’S REPORT
A new research project at San Giovanni in Laterano was begun in January 2012. This is a collaboration
between the BSR, the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, the Università degli Studi di Firenze and the
Musei Vaticani, and is directed by Ian Haynes and Paolo Liverani. The work consists of an in-depth analysis
and scanning of excavated Roman buildings beneath the basilica, with a view to understanding better the
development of the site of the Severan castra nova equitum singularium into the Constantinian basilica.
The inauguration of the project was marked by a very well-attended one-day workshop at the BSR on 8
June 2012.
A final season of excavation was concluded at the Roman villa of San Lorenzo (Cittareale) supervised
by Stephen Kay with the collaboration of Roberta Cascino, and directed by Helen Patterson and Filippo
Coarelli. The project gratefully acknowledges the continued support of the Comune di Cittareale and its
Mayor, Ing. Giuseppe Fedele.
On a personal note, the Camerone warmly welcomed its newest member of staff, Alice James. As a
recent MSc graduate of archaeological geophysics, Alice is involved in continuing the success of the
geophysics programme at the BSR.
Herculaneum Conservation Project (Professor Andrew Wallace-Hadrill)
Renewed support from the Packard Humanities Institute has ensured that conservation activities at
Herculaneum have continued after last year’s tenth anniversary of the conservation project. The emphasis
remains that of returning the archaeological site to conditions that the Soprintendenza Speciale per i Beni
Archeologici di Napoli e Pompei can manage in the long term. With four different public work campaigns
underway simultaneously, this year is seeing the first results on site of the shift taking place from the
Herculaneum Conservation Project (HCP) carrying out all stages of work to that of ‘joint programming’ by
the public and private partners. This involves the HCP team planning agreed works, which are then funded
and commissioned by the Superintendency and supervised jointly. Works range from important structural
and roofing repairs to roofing replacement and numerous interventions on decorative features and other
architectural elements that will allow many areas of the main site to be reopened to the public in the next
two years.
UNESCO inspectors who visited Pompeii to understand the management challenges there made specific
reference in their final report, released in mid-2011, to the exemplary approaches being adopted at
Herculaneum and suggested that these should be reviewed and potentially adapted for Pompeii. This
UNESCO acknowledgement not only adds to existing international recognition of HCP (ICCROM and the
Getty are examples) but also secures HCP a role in assisting the Italian State to benefit other sites. Indeed,
in February 2012 the team delivered a presentation on HCP to the Ministry of Culture’s strategic planning
committee for the future of Pompeii. In addition, following the employment of 20 new Superintendency
technical staff at Pompeii, both HCP and the Herculaneum Centre were involved in a capacity-building
programme to introduce staff to the specific challenges of tackling conservation emergencies on the scale
of a large archaeological site, and to attempt to establish regular maintenance programmes for a more
sustainable future for Italian archaeological heritage.
It is within this context that both the HCP and Herculaneum Centre teams were invited to contribute to
ICCROM’s course on the Conservation of Built Heritage, hosting the course participants in April 2012 for
the special module on sustainable development that had been financed by UNESCO. Herculaneum

Architecture (Marina Engel)
In November, Henk Ovink, curator of this year’s Rotterdam Architecture Biennale and Director of the Dutch
Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning and the Environment, one of the Architecture programme’s sponsors,
gave an inspiring talk on Dutch approaches to urban planning.
Our programme Three Cities in Flux — Urban Regeneration in London, Milan and Rome then concluded
in Rome in November 2011 with a lecture and exhibition by Francesco Cellini, Dean of the Architecture
Faculty at the Università degli Studi Roma Tre, and Paolo Desideri, Professor at Roma Tre and director of
the well-known practice ABDR. The event proved an excellent opportunity to unite two of the BSR’s main
disciplines: archaeology and architecture. The Architecture Faculty of Roma Tre presented a master plan
that set out to reorganise Rome’s Central Archaeological Area (which happens to be the world’s largest),
so as to rationalise the services it offers both to tourists and local residents. Displayed in a spectacular
multi-media installation, the project was devised by a group of teachers from the Faculty of Architecture.
The master plan proposes to rationalise routes, access points, services and road networks. Public
attendance was high, press reviews were good and we hope that this will be the first of many
collaborations with Roma Tre.
11
DIRECTOR’S REPORT
The programme concluded in London at the Architectural Association in February 2012 in a very lively
debate that brought together the main speakers in the series, who met for the first time in a round table
discussion.
Over the winter, we organised two special events. The first was a very animated book presentation by
three of Italy’s best-known architects and historians spanning three generations: Pippo Ciorra, Vittorio
Gregotti and Franco Purini. In the first of several collaborations with the Galleria Nazionale d’Arte
Moderna, we also hosted a lecture by the artist Alfredo Pirri focusing on the theme of art and architecture.
Our new cycle of lectures and exhibitions Urban Landscapes — Indian Case Studies focuses on some
of the consequences which result from ‘top-down’ and formal master planning so as to consider alternative
forms of urbanism as well as ways of adjusting to some of the problems which result from the imposition
of over-determined spatial visions. Following the inaugural event, we began to look at what is commonly
referred to as ‘informal urbanism’, taking Delhi and Mumbai as case studies to enable a discussion on the
future of urban planning in general.
From May 2012 to March 2013, we have invited an international and comprehensive team of architects,
urbanists, writers, art historians, anthropologists and photographers to lecture and to exhibit their work in
order to consider new lines of enquiry on these themes, at both an academic and a professional level.
Events will include exhibitions and new work by the architects Studio Mumbai and by Rahul Mehrotra,
Professor of Urban Design and Planning at Harvard University Graduate School of Design, while other
guest speakers will include the anthropologist Franco La Cecla as well as a number of distinguished
architectural and art historians and critics. This programme again reflects the multi-disciplinary nature of
the BSR, but also the way that the Architecture programme in particular links with broader social scientific
and academic work.

DIRECTOR’S REPORT
Transitions, the inaugural event, featured the work of three Indian photographers who are relatively
unknown in the West. They belong to three different generations, and their work investigates and displays the
changing face of Delhi over the last 60 years. Images of Delhi’s desolate new towns depicted an all-toocommon global urban reality. The event attracted a very large audience ranging from people interested in both
contemporary art and architecture to a wide range of scholars, BSR residents and the general public.
At the end of June 2012 the writer William Dalrymple, a leading authority on Indian culture and history,
gave a talk on Delhi with reference to his book City of Djinns.
This multi-disciplinary programme has also enabled us to broaden our range of partners who include the two
main contemporary art museums in Rome, MAXXI and MACRO, as well as the American Academy in Rome,
Keats-Shelley House, FotoGrafia Festival Internazionale di Roma, the Embassy of India, Rome, Domus and the
Architectural Association, London. We are extremely grateful to our sponsors whose support has made the
programme possible: Allford Hall Monaghan Morris, the Cochemé Charitable Trust, the John S. Cohen
Foundation and the Bryan Guinness Charitable Trust.
Fine Arts (Jacopo Benci)
On 22 September, Domenico De Clario (Australia Council Resident, July–September 2011) presented a onenight cross-media event entitled Forestories, in collaboration with Australian performer and singer Sam
Burke. Also in late September, Richard Gasper (Sainsbury Scholar in Painting and Sculpture 2010–11)
presented a display of works he had made at the BSR during the last part of his twelve-month tenure. Seven
Things To Do In An Emergency was the first Fine Arts group exhibition of the academic year. For the occasion,
the December issue of the magazine Arte & Roma published a brief interview with Jacopo Benci where he
illustrated the Fine Arts programme, highlighting the inaugural Creative Scotland document Fellowship
awarded to Angela Catlin,
and the Max Mara residency,
awarded to Laure Prouvost.
On 20 December Ilaria Gianni,
co-curator of the Rome-based
Nomas Foundation, visited
the studios of the artists then
in residence. This led to an
invitation to Sainsbury Scholar
Nicholas Hatfull to participate
in the exhibition Re-Generation, which opened at the

DIRECTOR’S REPORT
for the 2012 edition of the Spazi Aperti exhibition,
visited the studios of the artists in residence, and
selected Colin Darke, Nicholas Hatfull and Laure
Prouvost to take part in the exhibition (from 23
May to 15 June).
Running from 16 to 23 March, the second
group exhibition by the Fine Arts award-holders
was entitled I Don’t Know How a Rock Feels,
and on 20 April, two of our architects, Duarte
Natário dos Santos and Felix Schwimmer,
presented illustrated papers on their Rome
projects at the annual international conference
‘Grand Tour del terzo millennio’, held at the
Università di Roma Tor Vergata. On 25 May,
following a pattern inaugurated last year, the
2012 edition of the Roma Contemporary art fair
brought a group of gallery-goers and collectors
to visit the BSR artists’ studios for an afternoon.
On 14 June, a special event marked this year’s
Queen’s Birthday Party and the Diamond Jubilee
at the Villa Wolkonsky, the official residence of
HM Ambassador to Italy. The Embassy invited

DIRECTOR’S REPORT
the BSR to present a display of its historic and contemporary photographic archives, and the Fine Arts
representation comprised works by Sian Bonnell (Photoworks Fellow 2010–11), Angela Catlin (Creative
Scotland document Fellow 2011–12), Fiona Crisp (Wingate Rome Scholar 2001–2) and Denis Masi (Sargant
Fellow 2002–3).
The final group exhibition for the academic year was entitled Wher You Live Now, and once again
showcased the high standard and variety of the work of the Fine Arts award-holders to the Roman art
public, and contributed to the high profile of the BSR. In addition to his participation in Re-Generation,
Nicholas Hatfull was invited by curator Luca Lo Pinto to take part in the exhibition D’après Giorgio at the
Giorgio & Isa De Chirico Foundation in Rome. His work was unveiled on 23 June.
Over the last year, works by several BSR award-holders have been featured on the front cover of the
capital’s leading English-language magazine, Wanted in Rome, including Diana Taylor, Janet Haslett, Luke
Roberts, Heather B. Swann and Felix Schwimmer.
Consolidating collaborations with John Cabot University and the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art,
this year’s BSR Fine Arts interns were Celia Yang, Anna Prosvetova, Giorgia Tamburi and Clara Giannini
from JCU, and Stephen Polatch from the Ruskin. They ably helped artists to source materials and suppliers,
assisted with the preparation, publicity and invigilation of exhibitions, and worked on the inventory of BSR
award-holders’ files spanning over two decades, held in the Fine Arts archive.
Publications (Dr Gill Clark)
A picture paints a thousand words... the images
accompanying this report and the pages on staff
publications (p 32) demonstrate vividly the exciting
and busy year that it has been for the BSR’s
Publications programme. In fact we have published
some 450 pictures and 670,000 words in our
academic volumes.
This year has seen the first volume of Papers of
the British School at Rome published by
Cambridge University Press on our behalf, in print
and on-line. Publication with CUP has had an
immediate and dramatic effect upon the
dissemination of the academic research featured
in the volume — much of which has been
supported or facilitated in some way by the BSR
—, as well as raising the profile of the BSR more
generally, with a five-fold increase in the number
of academic libraries that now have access to the
volume. This was the last volume to be edited by
Josephine Crawley Quinn, and we are most
grateful to her for her considerable efforts in
expanding the coverage and reach of the volume.
15
DIRECTOR’S REPORT
In the 2011 volume we range widely, including
discussion of Roman topography and Latin diction,
the public image of the Severan women on coins,
vision and imagination in Flavio Biondo’s Roma
Triumphans, to Ciro Poggiali’s Diario AOI 1936–7 and
the representation of the Italian colonial world.
We have seen the launch also of a new BSR
Studies series, again with CUP, with Rome,
Pollution and Propriety. Dirt, Disease and
Hygiene in the Eternal City from Antiquity to
Modernity, edited by Mark Bradley (who has also
become Editor of PBSR). This volume arises from a
conference held at the BSR in July 2007, and
exemplifies the interdisciplinarity and internationalism that is at the heart of the BSR activities.
Our Archaeological Monographs continue to
reflect the considerable amount of activity resulting
from work in the Camerone. Portus and its
Hinterland, edited by Simon Keay and Lidia Paroli,
arising from a workshop held at the BSR, seeks to
begin to redress the imbalance between the
importance of, and documentation for, Rome’s
principal maritime port between the first and sixth centuries AD. It shares the results of various projects
focused on Portus and its hinterland, with the aim of fostering greater public awareness of this remarkable
site. ‘Veii. The Historical Topography of the Ancient City’. A Restudy of John Ward-Perkins’s Survey
publishes in full, for the first time, the material from the Etruscan and Roman city of Veii, some fifteen
kilometres north of Rome, collected during the South Etruria Survey in the 1950s and ’60s. This is a remarkable
collection of material, representing in many instances a disappeared landscape, its value being augmented
considerably by the dramatic increases since then in our knowledge and understanding of ancient pottery.
S U S TA I N A B I L I T Y
Continuing the Change
All the work described above depends on a small but committed staff. I am hugely grateful to everyone, in
Rome and in London, who has made the successes of this year possible. Particular thanks this year go to Gill
Clark, whose expert assistance brought to publication an unprecedented number of BSR volumes. We have
been extraordinarily fortunate in the staff who have joined us this year. Joanna Kostylo’s wide-ranging
research project, From Renaissance to Grand Tour: A Laboratory for the Humanities, has already won a
substantial grant from the British Academy, and she has brought huge energy and commitment to her role as
Assistant Director. Lara Johnson-Wheeler has been an invaluable support for our development activities, and
we wish her well in her future studies; and Christine Martin is taking forward the residence into a new phase.
16
DIRECTOR’S REPORT
It is also good to know that even
those who are no longer working at
the BSR remain connected with us;
Geraldine Wellington and Marisa
Scarsella both retired after many
years of marvellous service, but still
return as welcome friends. Alice
Bygraves improved the way we
presented our events and our
communications, and made an
invaluable contribution to the
professionalism of our activities.
We wish her every success in her
new role at the Estorick Collection.
Staff on a visit to the excavations at San Giovanni in Laterano, July 2012
Efficiencies and constant attention to costs have helped us to
begin to turn a corner financially, but a huge amount remains to be done. We have refurbished almost all
the rooms, replaced the carpets in the 40s corridor, and have converted two rooms into a self-contained
flat, which will house senior scholars and will be available for let during the whole summer, as is the
Balsdon flat. IT remains robust after the changes two years ago. Yet the largest of our challenges
remains.
A Sustainable Residence for our Second Century
Thanks to the British Academy, in 2011–12 we commissioned Arup to conduct a major survey of our roof
and all our energy needs and provision. This important work, followed up by further architectural advice
and with the wide support of Council member Eric Parry, has set us a major challenge, but also defined at
last both an aspiration and a vision.
We will need a substantial sum of money to ‘deliver the dream’ but I am convinced that this is an
achievable goal, and, just as importantly, an essential one for our future and for our integrity as an
institution that takes sustainability seriously both as a topic for research and as a way of existing. We have
already started making small but important changes to our behaviours; and I am committed to the full
implementation of the Arup report.
Delivering the Mission
At the outset of this report, I noted that there is a unity of purpose within what we do, and that purpose
is not tangential to the interests of those who support us, but of direct relevance. We have every reason
to be immensely proud of what we do, and to continue to argue for the productive interplay of disciplines
and practices which, as we are so often told by former award-holders, is a transformative experience.

SUPPORT FOR THE HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES (Dr Joanna Kostylo)
During 2011–12 I had the opportunity to appreciate how unique and rewarding it is to be part of the BSR’s
community. The award-holders’ diverse projects have greatly contributed to the BSR’s research profile as
well as enhancing its social life. Costas Panayotakis’s lecture on Roman comedy provided an excellent
conversation topic at the dinner table, while Laura Banducci, Robyn Veal and Jane Draycott, all working on
food and fuel from different perspectives, proved the capacity of the BSR to foster unexpected synergies.
This year has been characterised by closer interaction between the Camerone and the award-holders,
some of whom worked in the laboratory on their archaeological material. All residents were welcomed to
regular open sessions by Camerone staff. In a number of other ways too, we have enhanced the support
given to our scholars.
We used the Rickman Fund to support award-holders; an example was the workshop ‘Bodies of
Evidence’, organised by Jane Draycott and Emma-Jayne Graham (Rome Fellow 2005–6), which brought
together speakers and delegates from a variety of countries and disciplines. The workshop was followed
by Jane’s interview for the Classics Confidential website, the prospect of future collaboration with the
Department of History of Medicine at the Università di Roma ‘Sapienza’, and an invitation to participate in
an archaeological project on a Roman villa with a traceable Roman garden layout in Wanstead Park, east
London.
Many award-holders have engaged in activities outside the BSR. Rebecca Usherwood gave papers in
Rome at the Associazione Internazionale di Archeologia Classica, at the Università degli Studi Roma Tre
and at John Cabot University. Anita Sganzerla gave a lecture on Parmigianino’s etchings at the Courtauld
in May, and Alec Corio spoke on Catholicism in nineteenth-century England at the Conversazioni organised
by the oratory of St Francis Xavier ‘del Caravita’ and the Anglican Centre in Rome. Robyn Veal delivered
papers at the Universities of Michigan and Cambridge as well as at the UN Food and Agriculture
Organization. Laura Banducci gave a paper at Brock University, Canada, and co-authored a poster at the
Theoretical Roman Archaeology conference in Frankfurt. Nicholas Temple presented a paper in April at the
architectural conference ‘Grand Tour del terzo millennio’ at the Università di Roma Tor Vergata.
A new initiative is the Valle Giulia Dialogues, which provides an informal forum for scholars and artists
from the academies in the Valle Giulia to share and discuss their work as well as socialise with their peers.
Congratulations go to Amy Russell (BSR Research Fellow and Ralegh Radford Rome Scholar 2009–10),
who has been appointed to a lectureship at the University of Durham; to Simon Macdonald (Rome Scholar
2010–11), who has taken up a post as a Research Associate in the History Department at UCL, and to
Simon Martin (BSR Research Fellow and Rome Scholar 2006–7) for the publication of his second book
Sport Italia: The Italian Love Affair with Sport. Former Assistant Director (and BSR Research Fellow)
Andrew Hopkins published his book Baldassare Longhena and Venetian Baroque Architecture in August
2012. Nicholas Cullinan (Rome Scholar 2004–5) curated the highly praised exhibition Twombly and
Poussin: Arcadian Painters, at Dulwich Picture Gallery, and Rachel King (Rome Scholar 2007–8) is the cocurator of two exhibitions on Renaissance and early modern silver at the Bavarian National Museum in
Munich. Stefan Cassomenos (Youth Music Foundation of Australia Scholar 2007–8), has been appointed
Artistic Director of the Chamber Strings of Melbourne.

TA U G H T C O U R S E S
(Dr Robert Coates-Stephens)
The BSR offers two annual courses for students of classics
and archaeology: the two-week undergraduate Summer
School in September, and the two-month postgraduate City
of Rome course in April and May. Both courses are
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 and Irish universities.
The Summer School gives undergraduates an intensive
introduction to the city of Rome and its surroundings,
adopting a thematic approach which focuses on the social,
economic, political and religious activities which constituted life and death in the ancient city. Each day’s itinerary
is introduced with an evening lecture, and the visits
integrate the monuments with museum collections and
tours of the latest excavations. 26 students from eleven City of Rome students at the Villa of the Gordians
universities attended the 2011 course. The virtues of the
thematic approach were singled out for particular praise by the participants, with one commenting that “each
themed day provided me with a piece of the puzzle and by the end of the course all the pieces fell into the right
place to form a clear picture of Rome’s layers”.
In 2011, 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 Cambridge and the
Gladstone Memorial Trust. The 2012 City of Rome course was generously supported by the Society for the
Promotion of Roman Studies.
The postgraduate City of Rome course takes a more gradual, topographical approach which, over two
months, 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, with the other reserved for individual study
supervised by the course director. In 2012, fourteen students attended, two having already followed the 2010
Summer School. BSR award-holders and visiting experts from the city’s academic community contributed with
public lectures, site visits and conversation over dinner, involving the students in the most up-to-date scholarly
debates in Rome. They returned to their UK institutions invigorated and intellectually refreshed: “I was feeling
quite academically exhausted before this course, but now feel that I want to pursue my academic career as far
as I can”, observed one participant. The BSR continues to hear from course alumni. One recently informed us
that, “I was looking down the list of papers at this year’s Classical Association conference and noticed that
seven are by ex-City of Rome students”. Another remarked, “over the last year I have attended many
conferences and work-in-progress workshops and have met so many students who have been on the City of
Rome course… we all have great memories of the course and it is lovely to hear that so many students come
away from Rome with the enthusiasm and buzz that we did”.

SUPPORT
FOR THE
FINE ARTS
(Jacopo Benci)
On 7 October 2011, Turner Prize nominees The Otolith Group — London based artists Anjalika Sagar and
Kodwo Eshun — held a well-attended public talk in the Sainsbury Lecture Theatre, on the occasion of their
exhibition at the MAXXI in Rome, which had opened on the previous evening. Jacopo Benci introduced and
translated the conversation between The Otolith Group and critic Bruno Di Marino, contributor to the
MAXXI exhibition catalogue. This event was a collaboration between the BSR Fine Arts programme and
the B.A.S.E. (Library, Archive, Educational Services) and Arts departments of MAXXI.
On 4 November, as part of the ‘UK Focus’ event of the Rome International Film Festival 2011, a video
programme entitled Responding to Rome was screened at the BSR. This was part of an agreement
between the Rome International Film Festival, the British Council, the BSR, and other British cultural and
trade organisations negotiated during the spring and summer months. The programme, previously unseen
in Italy, was part of the exhibition Responding to Rome — British Artists in Rome 1995–2005, curated
by Jacopo Benci and held at the Estorick Collection in London in 2006. It included video works by former
BSR Fine Arts award-holders Jordan Baseman, Louise Camrass, Marion Coutts, Dunhill & O’Brien, Mike
Marshall, Pat Naldi, Smith/Stewart and Aaron Williamson. All the videos had been shot during the artists’
time in Rome.
Victoria Watson (Sargant Fellow 2009–10) published her book Utopian Adventure: the Corviale Void in
January 2012. On 27 January, the exhibition Obiettivi Obiettività opened at Officine Fotografiche in Rome.
The exhibition, curated by Renata Tartufoli, presented a selection of historic photographs by Eugène Atget
and Berenice Abbott. Several foreign academies and institutions — the BSR, the Swiss Institute, the
Scandinavian Circle, the Royal Dutch Institute in Rome and the Embassy of the Netherlands — were asked
to select photographers-artists whose work has a dialogue with Atget’s. Jacopo Benci invited former BSR
award-holders Toby Glanville, Lala Meredith-Vula, John Riddy and David Spero, who kindly contributed one
photograph each.
The work which Jacopo Benci does in his own right as a researcher on film and photography, and which
he shares with the award-holders, is increasingly recognised internationally. On 25 November 2011, he
attended the London launch of the book Rome. Continuing Encounters Between Past and Present, edited
by Dorigen Caldwell (Birkbeck) and Lesley Caldwell (UCL), which contains essays previously given as
lectures as part of a UCL/Birkbeck/BSR cycle of seminars on Rome. The book included a chapter on
Pier Paolo Pasolini and Rome, the
subject of a lecture Benci gave at
UCL in March 2009.
On 5 March, Jacopo Benci gave
a lecture at the University of the
Arts London, Central Saint Martins,
at the invitation of Mick Finch
(Abbey Fellow 2010–11), on the
chapter Benci contributed to the
book Antonioni Centenary Essays,
edited by John David Rhodes and
Laura Rascaroli and published in
December 2011. The talk, was also
Kodwo Eshun and Anjalika Sagar (The Otolith Group) during their lecture
attended by Central Saint Martins’
at the BSR, October 2011
faculty including Louisa Minkin
20
(Abbey Fellow 2006–7) and Susan Trangmar
(Rome Scholar 1995–6).
Additional activities at the BSR during the
year included the screening of Fellini’s La
Dolce Vita (1959), and Pasolini’s Accattone
(1961), both followed by an illustrated
commentary by Jacopo Benci; and a lecture by
Jacopo Benci, What does Antonioni tell us
about Rome?, as part of the 2012 ‘CineRoma’
seminar (organised by the universities of Notre
Dame, Leeds and Cambridge) held at the BSR
on 20 June.
Artist testimonial
In order to maintain a critical and selfcritical approach to developing ideas and
approaches to making art, it is essential
for artists, at all levels of their careers,
Colin Darke, 1 March 1968, 2012
to identify means of challenging their
practice. The six months I spent at the
BSR provided the perfect opportunity to do just that. I began the residency with a project in mind,
but was aware that the experience of working within a new environment would impact on my
preconceptions. I was unprepared, however, for the scale and nature of this impact. Exploring the
city itself, of course, contributed to this, but it was my interaction with the artists and scholars at
the BSR that provided the most significant catalyst for change.
While the excellent Lecture programme provided much of this, it was the informal discussions with
fellow artists, with archaeologists and with historians that stimulated the development of existing
ideas and the formation of new intellectual and practical approaches which will form the basis of
new work in the future.
It has been a privilege to be a part of the BSR for this short but significant time.

LIBRARY
AND
ARCHIVE
(Valerie Scott)
Lucos Cozza, Honorary Fellow and unofficially Honorary Librarian, mentor and friend to generations of BSR
scholars, who frequented the Library for over 60 years, passed away in 2011, as recorded last year. His life
and scholarship were celebrated by many of his friends, family and colleagues at a day-long event
organised at the BSR on 28 March 2012. His closest colleagues from the world of academe and
archaeology were invited to present recent research and to share their personal memories of Lucos. The
Reading Room in the Library, where he studied most days looking out onto the garden, was discretely
dedicated to his memory, the Sala Lucos Cozza. From his library, 110 volumes have been included in our
collection thanks to the generosity of Lavinia and Giovanni Cozza, and his well-organised archive is now
safely housed in the BSR and will be available for consultation, as Lucos wished.
The resounding success of the latest Archive project continues, thanks to Ivano Villani and his team at
Ad.Venture srl, Pescara. The exhibition Thomas Ashby: viaggi in Abruzzo 1901/1923 closed in L’Aquila on
8 July 2011 and moved to Pescara, Museo delle Genti d’Abruzzo with a presentation at the Aurum exhibition
space on 22 July. It then moved to Sulmona, opening at the Sezione Archeologico del Polo Museale
dell’Annunziata on 12 August, to Chieti, Museo Archeologico Nazionale dell’Abruzzo Villa Frigerj, on 24
September and to the last venue, Teramo, Museo Civico ‘F. Savini’, on 26 November before returning to
L’Aquila in September 2012. Over 35,000 visitors have been recorded and a part of the exhibition, together
with photographs of the devastating results of the earthquake in L’Aquila in 2009, and a number of
remarkable archaic portrait sculptures, were on display in the British Academy in June 2012 as part of a
BSR Members’ event.
The next BSR Archive publication, the
tenth in the series, is in production. A
selection of photographs from the as-yetunpublished collection of Robert Gardner in
the BSR Archive will be published in 2012 in
collaboration with Giuseppe Ceraudo,
Università del Salento, Lecce, assisted by
Laura Castrianni, with an accompanying
exhibition. Robert Gardner was the BSR
Craven Fellow (1912–14), and accompanied
Thomas Ashby on a study trip down the Via
Appia and the Via Traiana in the spring of
1913 together with J.S. Beaumont, Gilchrist
Student at the BSR. These images will be
available on www.bsrdigitalcollections.it
this autumn, together with Thomas Ashby’s
photographs of aqueducts in Lazio prepared
by Stefania Peterlini, and part of the John
Henry Parker collection prepared by Patrizio
Gianferro (BSR Archive intern) in collaboration with Alessandra Giovenco.
Another Library exhibition opened in
Brindisi in April as part of the Comune’s
Settimana della Cultura 2012. On display

Ponticello, Benevento, Robert Gardner Collection 1912–13
was the Library’s copy of Giovanni Battista Piranesi’s Campus Martius antiquae Urbis (1762), which has
been magnificently restored by our conservator Luigina Antonazzo, Laboratorio Aelle, together with a
number of antique maps of Lazio from our collection, also recently restored. Following our new
conservation model, during the restoration process, 55 plates from the Campus Martius volume were
scanned and individually catalogued and are also available on our Digital Collections website.
The newly restored maps of Lazio — Giovanni Battista Cingolani dalla Pergola, Topografia Geometrica
dell’Agro Romano… (1704) and Giacomo Filippo Ameti Romano, Il Lazio con le sue conspicue Strade
Antiche, e Moderne… (1693) — form part of another collaborative project, ‘Mapping the Campagna
Romana over time’, with Lisa Beaven, La Trobe University, Melbourne and the Bibliotheca Hertziana. In the
first instance, these maps will be made available to scholars in digital form but the project has the
potential to function as a three-dimensional digital map of the Roman Campagna over time, using the
latest in modelling and imaging software. The pilot project has been funded by La Trobe University’s EResearch programme, with technical assistance, expertise and in-kind support provided by VeRSI (The
Victorian e-Research Strategic Initiative).
We rely on the generosity of our friends to fund our projects and this year, our trustee and Chair of the
Faculty of Archaeology, History and Letters, Rosamond McKitterick, has funded the completion of the
cataloguing of the Rare Books Collection onto the URBS catalogue. For the Archive, the Aurelius Trust,
thanks to retiring trustee Peter Brown, has funded the purchase of conservation sleeves and envelopes for
the Thomas Ashby collection of negatives recently returned to the BSR from the Istituto Centrale per il
Catalogo e la Documentazione.
Space, or lack of it, is always an issue and this year the problem has been addressed both in the Library
and the Archive. The section in the Library on Britain (particularly Roman Britain), comprising 550 volumes,
has been catalogued on URBS and is now on permanent loan at the Library of LUMSA (Libera Università
‘Maria SS. Assunta’), a member of URBS. The Archivist has undertaken an ambitious project to review the
whole of the BSR Administrative Archive with a view to eliminating all duplicates and rationalising the
holdings.
The Librarian was elected President of URBS (Unione Romana Biblioteche Scientifiche) from 2013 to 2015.

I N S T I T U T I O N A L D E V E L O P M E N T (Mary Ellen Mathewson)
2011–12 has been a year of rewarding hard work. Private support is underpinning new activities and
initiatives and we are now communicating with a greatly expanded international audience.
The Annual Fund is beginning to generate a critical pool of flexible, readily available funds that can be
put to use wherever it is needed most urgently, with immediate impact. It also provides leverage for the
Director and Council to seek major gifts from other individuals, trusts and private companies. This
community of core support sends a strong message to potential donors that the private sector believes the
BSR is critical to Britain’s position as a global leader in humanities research.
The renewal of the Rome Prize in Architecture has been made possible with the support of private
donors, many of whom have held awards at the BSR — amongst them, Robert Adam, Bob Allies, Tim Bell,
Jeremy Blake, Peter Harris, Eric Parry, Hugh Petter and Robert Tavernor.
The Ashby Society continues to grow; the dates for the annual Ashby Weekend are 13–17 March 2013,
with a programme that includes lectures, personal time with current award-holders, visits to areas in and
around Rome, and a social programme of drinks and meals within the daily community of the BSR. These
generous donors are enabling the BSR to be bold and innovative because their gifts directly support
opportunities that would otherwise not be possible.
The G.E. Rickman Fund has supported the annual Rickman Lecture, and the ‘Bodies of Evidence’ conference,
organised by a 2011–12 award-holder. Many of our donors choose to designate their annual gift to this fund,
in honour of Geoffrey Rickman, which is fast becoming a hugely important resource for helping our award
holders make the most of their time at the BSR. The Fund remains open, and we welcome further gifts.
The expanded programme of communications and events is helping to raise the BSR’s profile to a wider
global audience, and former award-holders are more connected with each other and the BSR than ever
before. Our grateful thanks go to Compton Fundraising for providing the BSR with a database system to
manage mailings, events, volunteers and, of course, fundraising. We continue to be indebted to the John
The Director, Christopher Smith, and staff, summer 2012
24
R. Murray Charitable Trust for their support of our institutional development programme; the great progress
we have made would be impossible without them.
Finally, our deepest thanks go to all the donors and volunteers who constitute the BSR community.
Collaboration and partnership are at the core of the BSR’s mission, and the institution goes from strength
to strength because of this cherished community.

Humanities scholar testimonial
Portrait of Costas Panayotakis by Colin Darke
F INE A RTS AWARDS
The primary aim of the project for which I was awarded the
Balsdon Fellowship was to edit the fragments of the entertaining
and indecent Latin plays known as ‘Atellane comedies’ (first
century BC) and the collection of apophthegms associated with
the Syrian actor and author Publilius, Julius Caesar’s
contemporary. To do this reliably I needed to look afresh at the
relevant manuscripts, the majority of which are in the Vatican
Library. The Balsdon Fellowship enabled me to combine use of the
excellent library facilities at the BSR, accessible 24 hours a day,
with regular visits to the Vatican Library to collate manuscripts.
By the end of the Fellowship I had achieved my target. This
happened because the working atmosphere at the BSR is so
congenial, the library resources so conveniently available, and the
people (staff, visiting lecturers and temporary residents) so
helpful in supporting research that my work profited greatly from
weeks of uninterrupted reading and discussions with (senior and
junior) colleagues, students, archaeologists, architects, and
artists. Hard work was relaxing and relaxation motivated me to
work harder. I wish I could have stayed longer.

FINANCIAL REPORT
(Michael Higgin and Professor Christopher Smith)
This report should be read alongside the Trustees’ Report and the Financial Statements for the year ended 31
March 2012 available at www.bsr.ac.uk
G OVERNANCE
OF THE
BSR
The 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 and 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.
F INANCIAL
REVIEW
The 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 scholarships; 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 or foundations,
which are acknowledged on our website.
Income sources in 2011–12
The BSR is beginning to see some results from a tough approach to costs, improved management of the
residence, and vigorous advocacy on the part of staff and Faculty members. This year, the balance sheet is
positive, which allows us to plan for continuing improvement of the residence, and sustained expenditure
on research. It remains the fact that at present we are unable to maintain the level of archaeological
activity which we would like, and that last year the number of humanities scholarships we offered was
substantially lower than in the past.
Whilst the British Academy grant has given us some stability, it remains a matter of concern that either
an interim review of the Comprehensive Spending Review, or a subsequent version, will be less favourable;
so a prudent approach to building cash reserves has been maintained.
Development activity has therefore taken centre stage, with a twice-yearly newsletter, active
solicitation, and re-engagement activity. This has led to increases in membership income, and some early
success in major gifts, which we will build on in coming years.
Expenditure items in 2011–12
As highlighted in the last Annual Review, we have taken steps to secure our position for the future by a
vigorous programme of renewal. Improvement of the residence, from replacement of small items and
regular minor refurbishment, through to more substantial interventions, has been a feature of a more
managed maintenance regime. Both the new residence management software system and the
development database have proved valuable and functional assets in improving efficiency.

The major expenditure item remains staff costs, and there is no doubt that the BSR will need to address
this area, whilst maintaining service and supporting those staff who have made possible the changes
noted above through their hard work and loyalty.
The BSR can also point to a continued focus on the academic side of our activities. The financial
statements show that expenditure on research-related staff and scholarships, on the Library and on
publications fell by 7% compared with the prior year, whereas we were able to cut support costs by 18%.
Financial results
The surplus of income compared with expenditure on unrestricted activities amounted to £120,000 in the
year ended 31 March 2012, before transfers to unrestricted funds of income originally received as
restricted income which has now become available to the BSR to use for its general objectives, and before
losses arising on the investment portfolio.
As at 31 March 2012, the BSR’s unrestricted funds amounted to £2,608,000. These funds include
designated funds of £2,014,000 set aside by Council for research and scholarship grants and also include
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
37
FINANCIAL REPORT
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 £1,913,000 at 31 March 2012.
The investment portfolio is managed by external advisers whose performance is reviewed annually by
Council. During the year 2010–11 the investment strategy was assessed in light of the funding settlement
for the next four years. Steps have been taken to align the strategy with the likely cash needs of the BSR
over that period, but market volatility and the worsening economic climate in Europe have delayed its full
implementation.
F UTURE
DEVELOPMENTS
The British Academy settlement has to be seen as a substantial challenge for the BSR. We are required to
continue to support the highest quality of research, and to secure our own long-term financial stability, in
the context of a grant which, in 2014–15, will still be approximately the same in sterling terms as it was
in 2007–8. Currency fluctuations continue to cause unease, whilst inflation in key cost areas such as
energy and books is high and particularly damaging.
The focus of the past three years has been to create the basis for a determined effort to reduce the BSR
cost base, and to improve income generation.
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 arts and architecture,
and social sciences, remains unwavering. Shifting resource as we must do from administration to research
will require difficult choices and innovative solutions.
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. To
address this, we have commissioned a major feasibility study, and have obtained early indications of costs,
which are substantially in excess of our available cash. Finding the appropriate solutions to this challenge
will become increasingly central in our development activity.
