Father Dr Rocco Ronzani OSA, a native of Rome and Prefect of the Vatican Archives (AAS) since last summer, was previously Professor of Patristics at the Institutum Augustinianum and the Laterean University. As Prefect of the Vatican Archives, he succeeds Sergio Pagano. Since its foundation in 1888, the RIGG has been gratefully associated with the Vatican Archives through its editions of the Cameral Acts, the Nunciature Reports and the Council of Trent.
Pater Rocco writes: "I truly hope to be able to make some contribution to an ancient and prestigious Catholic cultural association. I can certainly assure maximum availability and collaboration in the scientific research that the members of the Institute intend to carry out at this Pontifical Archive".
