The story

The institution was founded by Luigi Miraglia, a Latinist and classical philologist, in 1991. Its roots trace back to a previous language-revival experimental institution in the 1980s on the small, uninhabited island of Vivara in the Gulf of Naples.

The international campus project officially began in 1998, promoted by classical scholars Giovanni Pugliese Carratelli and Gerardo Marotta, who were concerned about the fate of classical disciplines in Europe. The Mnemosyne Foundation was subsequently established in 2000 to create the international center.

The Academy was initially situated in a headquarters in Montella (AV), in the Irpinia region. In August 2016, the Academy received the concession for its current, stable headquarters at Villa Falconieri in Frascati, a "Borrominian jewel" of the Castelli Romani, with support from the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and the Ministry of Education.
