Institutionele geschiedenis

The history of the Fondazione Roma originates in 1539 from the birth of the Monte di Pietà of Rome. In 1836, on the initiative of deserving citizens, saw the rise of the Cassa di Risparmio. In 2007 the Cassa di Risparmio di Roma Foundation changed its name to Fondazione Roma, with the aim of highlighting its philanthropic aims. The Art Collection of the Rome Foundation is made up of a large and original corpus of works ranging from the fifteenth century to the present day. Based on a modest original nucleus coming from the collections of the Monte di Pietà and the Cassa di Risparmio di Roma, it has been significantly increased over the years with a purchasing campaign aimed at collecting and making the works accessible in a permanent exhibition space, specifically created at Palazzo Sciarra.

Institutionele geschiedenis

The School of Oriental Studies was founded in 1916 at 2 Finsbury Circus, London, the then premises of the London Institution. The school received its royal charter on 5 June 1916 and admitted its first students on 18 January 1917. For a period in the mid-1930s, prior to moving to its current location at Thornhaugh Street, Bloomsbury, the school was located at Vandon House, Vandon Street, London SW1, with the library located at Clarence House. Its move to new premises in Bloomsbury was held up by delays in construction and the half-completed building took a hit during the Blitz in September 1940. With the onset of the Second World War, many University of London colleges were evacuated from London in 1939 and billeted on universities in the rest of the country. The School was, on the Government's advice, transferred to Christ's College, Cambridge. In 1940, when it became apparent that a return to London was possible, the school returned to the city and was housed for some months in eleven rooms at Broadway Court, 8 Broadway, London SW1. In 1942, the War Office joined with the School to create a scheme for State Scholarships to be offered to select grammar and public school boys with linguistic ability to train as military translators and interpreters in Chinese, Japanese, Persian, and Turkish. Lodged at Dulwich College in south London, the students became affectionately known as the Dulwich boys.
A college of the University of London, in 2011, the Privy Council approved changes to the school's charter allowing it to award degrees in its own name.
