Pisa, where Egyptology was introduced in its very beginning by Ippolito Rossellini in 1826, continues to be one of the most prestigious center of study and research for this discipline, also thanks to its network of international relations and collaborations. The Pisan egyptologists work within the “Dipartimento di Civiltà e Forme del Sapere” and they carry out research on history, society and culture of ancient Egypt, both through texts and archaeological activities on the field and in museums.
