Mélanges of the École française de Rome
The École française de Rome publishes a periodical, the Mélanges de l'École française de Rome, divided, since 1974, into three series: Antiquité (MEFRA), Moyen Âge (MEFRM), Italie et Méditerranée modernes et contemporaines (MEFRIM), with two issues each year.
The three series can be found online at journals.openedition.org, from 2010 (other than issues 122-1), at the following addresses:
In addition, all the volumes of Mélanges published between 1881 and 2009 are available online and free of charge on the Persée website, a portal for scientific journals in the human and social sciences and for the dissemination of heritage collections:
Chronique of the archaeological activities of the École française de Rome
The Chronique publishes the reports of École’s missions or those carried out by French teams in Italy, North Africa and the Balkans. The mission directors present the preliminary results of their archaeological research, from Prehistory to the end of the Middle Ages.
Previously published in the Mélanges de l'Ecole française de Rome, the Chronique has, since 2012, been published in its own digital format, updated throughout the year.
Works from the École française de Rome and the Centre Jean Bérard
The École française de Rome publishes the work of its members and the results of its scientific activities in history, archaeology and the social sciences. The works are mainly published in the traditional series: the Bibliothèque des Écoles françaises d'Athènes et de Rome (BEFAR) created in 1876, and the Collection de l'École française de Rome created in 1964.

Blog dédié au patrimoine et à la restauration du palais Farnèse
École française de Rome, Ambassade de France en Italie et Institut français Italia
Depuis 2021, un vaste chantier de restauration a débuté au palais Farnèse. Dans la continuité des campagnes antérieures, l’Ambassade et l’École, qui l’occupent respectivement depuis 1874 et 1875, restaurent les façades et les toitures du palais, en partenariat avec la Surintendance spéciale pour l’archéologie, les beaux-arts et le paysage de Rome. Ces travaux s’achèveront en 2025 pour la célébration du cent cinquantième anniversaire de la présence française dans le palais.
Sur "Farnèse 150", les membres, les personnels, les artistes invités, les chercheurs et l’ensemble des acteurs engagés, architectes, artisans, restaurateurs, conservateurs, contribueront, tour à tour, à dévoiler l’envers du décor de ce chantier : farnese150.hypotheses.org
