In 2010, a collaboration agreement between ISS and the Ministero per i Beni e le Attività Culturali was reached with the aim of identifying and cataloguing the objects of artistic value (such as statues, paintings and others) dating back to the XIX and XX centuries and owned by ISS. The agreement, extended from 2010-2011 to 2012-2013, has led to the identification and cataloguing of all the objects reputed of artistic interest. The "Historical and artistic objects" section of Archiss includes descriptions and images of this valuable collection and the cataloguing record of each object which is in accordance with the criteria of the ICCD (Istituto Centrale per il Catalogo e la Documentazione).
