The Archive will be reorganised in December and will reopen in January at its new location in Paris, where it will also be finally open to scholars and researchers. Procedures will remain largely unchanged and, for any information, the email address info@ remains the same. If expert appraisals are required, we will continue to carry them out in both Rome and Paris, thanks to the presence of a contact person in both cities. The fourth volume of the catalogue will also be published in January and reservations will soon be open at Electa.
In light of the work carried out over the last thirty years and the volumes of the Catalogue already published since September 2025, only works already known by the Archive are certified. To check whether they are already known, please send the preliminary verification form (link), a high-definition photo of the front and back of the artefact and, if available, photographs of the signature and/or inscriptions by email. You will then be contacted to confirm whether you can proceed. If the work is already known to the Archive, you will be informed of the next steps to obtain the certificate, or if the artefact has already been deemed unattributable or cannot be archived as a work. When the Archive indicates that a work is ‘known,’ this does not imply that the work is authentic, studied, and archived. It only means that the Archive has a trace or documentation, even vague, relating to its existence and that at that moment the information is still being defined. Consequently, at this specific stage, the work does not require the issuance of a certificate. The procedure for obtaining a duplicate will remain unchanged.
