VIVE describes the BiASA as a public research library of the Ministero della Cultura specialising in archaeology, architecture and art history, founded in 1875 out of the book collection of the Direzione Generale Antichita e Belle Arti, and holding the archaeologist Rodolfo Lanciani's collection on deposit.
