Italian School of Archaeology at Athens
- Italian School of Archaeology at Athens
The Italian School of Archaeology at Athens (Italian: "Scuola Archeologica Italiana di Atene (SAIA)"; Greek: "Ιταλική Αρχαιολογική Σχολή Αθηνών") is one of the 17 foreign archaeological institutes headquartered in Athens, Greece, with branch offices in Crete, Limnos and Rome.
Following earlier Italian research in Greece (as an archaeological "expedition" or "mission"), the School was established in 1909. The School operates a sizeable library in Athens. It has conducted archaeological surveys in Aigialeia (Arcadia) and Thouria (Messenia), and excavations on Limnos at Poliochni, Hephaisteia, and Chloe, as well as on Crete, at the Minoan Palace at Phaistos and the nearby Minoan town of Agia Triada, and also in the Archaic through Roman city of Gortyn.
