CEFB - Centro di Egittologia Francesco Ballerini

CEFB - Centro di Egittologia Francesco Ballerini is an Italian Egyptology organization founded by Angelo Sesana, who serves as its director. The center is named after Francesco Ballerini, an early twentieth-century Italian Egyptologist. According to the official website, the organization grew out of Sesana's lifelong passion for ancient Egypt, which began with the words of ancient Greek and Roman authors and led him to study hieroglyphs, travel extensively in Egypt, and conduct years of research and excavations. Friends who shared his admiration for Egyptian culture helped him establish an association dedicated to sharing knowledge of Egyptian civilization and advancing research through a program of archaeological excavations. The center's activities include archaeological fieldwork in Egypt and educational outreach about ancient Egypt. Its motto, drawn from the Hermetic text Asclepius, reflects a commitment to preserving and interpreting the words carved in stone by the ancient Egyptians. The organization operates primarily in Italy and Egypt, with its website serving as a bilingual (Italian and English) portal for information about its activities.

The CEFB - Centro di Egittologia Francesco Ballerini was founded by Angelo Sesana, who serves as its director. The organization is named in honor of Francesco Ballerini, an Italian Egyptologist active in the early 20th century. According to the official website, the center's origins lie in Sesana's personal passion for ancient Egypt, which was first kindled by the writings of ancient Greek and Roman authors. This interest led him to study hieroglyphs, undertake numerous trips to Egypt, and engage in years of research and excavations—work that, as of the website's writing, had continued without pause for twenty-five years. From the beginning of his journey, friends who shared his admiration for ancient Egyptian culture joined him in the effort to give voice once more to the words carved in stone. Thanks to their generosity and spirit, Sesana was able to create an association dedicated to sharing knowledge of Egyptian civilization and to advancing research through a rich program of archaeological excavations. The center continues to operate as a cultural association, conducting excavations in Egypt and disseminating information about ancient Egypt through its website and educational activities.
