Anna Maria Bisi

A student of Sabastino Moscati, she obtained her doctorate and published "Il grifone: dalle origini orientali al VI secolo a.C." (The Griffin: from its eastern origins to the 6th century BC.)

According to Dolce, the academic scholarship and numerous publications she derived from that position had profound influences.

It should not be forgotten that A. M. Bisi’s professional work at the Superintendency immediately produced one important result, sometimes neglected even today, relating to the primary study of those who take on and exercise authority to control and provide information in the fields of culture and the dissemination of knowledge in general: the duty to promptly report even partial information on excavation and research activities.

It was in this period that she published papers in “Notizie degli Scavi” between 1966 and 1970, in Bollettino d’Arte in 1968, in Sicilia Archeologica, Annali dell’Istituto Orientale di Napoli (AION) in 1969, and Libya antiqua, in the years 1969-1970.

[3] Bisi was made Professor of Punic Antiquities at the Sapienza University of Rome in 1969, and Professor of the Archaeology of the Ancient Near East at the University of Urbino in 1971.
