Italian Numismatic Institute

The Italian Numismatic Institute (Istituto italiano di numismatica) is an Italian body for the study of numismatics, based in Palazzo Barberini at 13 via Quattro Fontane.

It is a founder member of the Centro Internazionale di Studi Numismatici, based in Naples, created in 1965 as a result of a joint initiative by the International Numismatic Council and the Museo Civico Filangieri, a private museum in Naples.

[1][3] It is governed by a 'Consiglio direttivo' or directorial committee, made up "of presidents of the four national historical Institutes, the president of the National Institute for Archaeology and Art History, and two experts nominated by decree by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities".

[1] Since 2011 the president of the 'consiglio' has been Sara Sorda, whose predecessor Attilio Stazio died in 2010.

Its current members are Andrea Giardina, Adriano La Regina, Luigi Lotti, Massimo Miglio, Nicola Parise, Sara Sorda and Romano Ugolini.

The Palazzo Barberini houses the Italian Numismatic Institute and the Galleria di Arte Antica
