Perspectives of ResearchThe Seventh Central European Conference of Egyptologists.
Egypt 2015: Perspectives of Research (CECE7) was held at the University
of Zagreb in Croatia in 2015. It was co-organised by two scholarly
institutions: the Department of History at the Centre for Croatian
Studies of the University of Zagreb, Croatia (Dr Mladen Tomorad), and
the Department of Ancient Cultures of the Pułtusk Academy of Humanities
in Pułtusk, Poland (Dr Joanna Popielska-Grzybowska). Title: Eight Years Following the Traces of Giuseppe and Amalia Nizzoli: Preliminary Results of the Nizzoli Project The
Chancellor of the Austrian Consulate in Egypt, Giuseppe Nizzoli, and
his wife Amalia Sola represent two prominent personalities who
contributed much to the history of Egyptology: they sold a remarkable
number of Egyptian collections and left an important book of memories of
those years in Egypt. Nevertheless, they are frequently neglected in
Egyptological studies and several aspects of their lives are still
unclear. In 2008, the present authors started a long-term project to
re-investigate of these two personalities, following their footsteps
through Italy as well as across Europe. The
paper presents the preliminary results of this project, showing
important details concerning both their professional and private lives. https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8183-8483
