The Romanian Academy in Rome is a research institution under the aegis of the Romanian Academy, founded in 1920 by an initiative of archaeologist Vasile Pârvan and historian Nicolae Iorga. The site of the Romanian Academy in Rome is on the Pincio, near the Villa Borghese gardens, in Rome, Italy.

Inspired by Architecture and Cultural Tradition

The proposed logo for Accademia di Romania in Rome is a visual expression that merges academic identity with the emblematic architectural elements of the institution. Designed using the abbreviation ARR, the graphic symbol reinterprets the neoclassical arches of the academy’s façade, designed by the renowned Romanian architect Petre Antonescu.

Message and Significance

As a strong and memorable visual identity, the proposed design ensures a coherent and prestigious representation of Accademia di Romania in Rome, strengthening its presence in the European cultural landscape.
