Zeri Foundation
The Federico Zeri Foundation is characterised as being both an advanced research centre in the field of humanistic studies and as a specialised educational centre.
In October 1999 the Federico Zeri Foundation was established with the mission of evaluating the legacy of the University of Bologna. In his testament, in fact, Federico Zeri bequeathed to the Bolognese University and is composed of more than 47.000 volumes and 37.700 catalogues; the photographic archives of the history of art with 300.000 imagines, the Villa di Mentana and the collection of epigraphs. The Federico Zeri Foundation, which will soon be transferred to the new location at the Santa Cristina complex in Bologna, seeks to construct a centre of higher study and specialised education in the history of art.
