In a small brochure published by Schnell und Steiner-Verlag, Stefan Heid emphasises the close relationship between the Teutonic Holy Camp and the Pontifical Institute of Christian Archaeology (PIAC), founded in 1925. The brochure is available in both German and Italian and will be presented at the Holy Teutonic Camp on 5 November.

The first lectures in preparation for the foundation of the institute took place in the library of the Holy Teutonic Camp from November 1924. The German Priestly College awarded its own scholarships for PIAC students. Until the Second World War, many ‘camposantini’ studied at the archaeological institute.
