It publishes articles in English in the areas supported by Rome Prizes in the humanities in the following: ancient studies, medieval studies, Renaissance and early modern studies, and modern Italian studies. Beginning with volume 65, the journal was redesigned and became an open access and entirely digital publication available via JSTOR.
