The testimony of the past

Professor Carlo Rizzo began his studies on Hermann Rorschach’s test in 1928, almost one hundred years ago: our duty and moral commitment as the sole heirs of the Roman Rorschach School Method is to safeguard this cultural heritage and experience, on which the School rests its foundations, by making it available to Rorschach scholars.

The archive includes unpublished writings and papers, correspondence by correspondence, graphs, drawings and Rorschach protocols collected by Carlo Rizzo since 1932, that is, since Professor Mario Gozzano (1898-1986), his friend and teacher, gave him the task of studying this new method of personality investigation.
Professor Rizzo devoted himself to the development of a method that fully respected Hermann Rorschach’s original approach while also accepting the most important contributions of the authors of the time.
In 1938, his studies led him to systematize the“Roman School Rorschach Method.”

It speaks of a time when there were neither calculating machines nor even computers, and it will be possible to observe how all studies were done by writing with love and dedication, doing calculations by hand, in the same era in which, compared to today, time for reflection was dilated.

Historical archives being set up

The set of documents that make up the Foundation’s historical archives is very large so it will take time to publish it in its entirety.
The first documents that will become common heritage are being selected.
