About the Project
Caput Mundi is a research and teaching project led by Einar Petterson. International, interdisciplinary conferences are arranged every year at the Norwegian Institute in Rome on topics of enduring interest in European art and culture from antiquity to the modern world. Research from these conferences enriches courses arranged every semester at the Norwegian Institute in Rome. The symposium lectures are published as podcasts.
