Dr Ignacio García has created the 400th post on the RIGG's Instagram channel "rigg1888". The channel does not so much inform about the Institute as - every two days - about new impressions and events from the Roman history, intellectual and art world. It combines this with many clever and often remote hints as well as practical tips.

In 1976 the College of Campo Santo Teutonico celebrated its centenary. Rector Erwin Gatz, just in office, invited German-speaking church historians to a conference at the end of October, among them naturally a great many (if not all) Görresians, headed by Hubert Jedin. On 30 October, Pope Paul VI received the church historians in a private audience and presented the College with a valuable facsimile.
