Past Events

The Academy’s signature series of events, Conversations/Conversazioni: From the American Academy in Rome, convenes leading artists, scholars, designers, historians, and museum leaders for frank, wide-ranging discussions on a variety of topics in the arts and humanities.

The Thomas Spencer Jerome Lecture Series is among the most prestigious international platforms for the presentation of new work on Roman history and culture. Thomas Spencer Jerome (1864–1914) was an American lawyer and lover of Roman history who lived on Capri from 1899 until his death. In his will he endowed a series of lectures to be jointly delivered at the American Academy in Rome and the University of Michigan. The revised lectures are typically published by the University of Michigan Press.
