The Filippo Turati Foundation for Historical Studies, with its legal and administrative offices in Florence, Italy, was founded on 20 May 1985 and is made up of academics, researchers and scholars. As of 6 November 1986 it is a charitable trust. Among its aims are: “the promotion and organization of research, study, documentation, and dissemination in the field of historical studies.” (1st Article of the Charter). The Foundation furthermore promotes historical scientific research in Italy as well as abroad.
The Foundation is part of various national and international bodies, such as the IALHI (International Association of Labour History Institutions), the CIA (Consiglio Internazionale degli Archivi), the AICI (Associazione Italiana degli Istituti Culturali), and the ANAI (Associazione Nazionale Archivistica Italiana).
It works together with public bodies (Archivio Centrale della Stato, Bioblioteca nazionale centrale di Firenze, Sovraintendenza archivistica della Toscana) (Archivio Centrale dello Stato, Biblioteca nazionale centrale di Firenze, Sovrintendenza archivistica della Toscana) and national and international private institutions that operate in the field of historical research.
At its conception in 1985, the Institute was headed by Sandro Pertini, former President of Italy, who was succeeded by Giuliano Vassalli, Professor Emeritus of the Constitutional Court of Italy. At present, the Filippo Turati Foundation for Historical Studies is headed by Professor Maurizio Degl’Innocenti.
