Monograph by Viktor Kanász, titled Lo sguardo di Roma sul Regno d’Ungheria. Il nunzio Girolamo Martinengo alla corte di Ferdinando I d’Asburgo (1550–1554), represents the fourth volume in the series. The author originally addressed this subject in his 2022 doctoral dissertation, followed in subsequent years by further archival research, the findings of which are now accessible in Italian. The volume examines the mid-sixteenth-century relations between the Holy See and the Kingdom of Hungary through the diplomatic mission of the papal nuncio Girolamo Martinengo between 1550 and 1554.
The members of the Research Group played an active role in the commemorations marking the 500th anniversary of the Battle of Mohács. The subject has remained relevant beyond the anniversary on 29 August, and events relating to Mohács have therefore continued throughout the autumn. In this context, Viktor Kanász, Research Fellow of the Group, has also delivered several lectures over the past two months.

Among the speakers were Viktor Kanász, Research Fellow of the Fraknói Research Group, and Olivér Kőhalmi, its demonstrator.

Its work is carried out in an institute-like framework within both the Hungarian university environment and an international Roman context.

Following the foreword by research group leader Péter Tusor, the writings are organized into four chapters.
Fraknói Centenary (1924–2024) The prominent international event of the Fraknói centenary took place on June 6, 2024, at the Aventine headquarters of the Istituto Nazionale di Studi Romani, next to the headquarters of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta. At the scientific conference titled Protagonisti e Collaboratori – Studiosi provenienti dall’Europa centro-orientale presso gli archivi della Santa Sede tra il 1881 e il 1918 (Protagonists and Collaborators - Researchers from Central and Eastern Europe at the Holy See Archives between 1881 and 1918), in addition to members of the Fraknói Research Group, Italian, Austrian, Czech, Polish, and Croatian researchers also gave presentations.
       Fraknói-Centenary 1924–2024 Under the title "Storia d’Ungheria – History of Hungary," the Fraknói Research Group and the Moravcsik Gyula Institute are launching a new international book series, published by Edizioni Sette Cittá in Viterbo. The primary goal of the series is to publish the results of their own fundamental research and the findings of Hungarian historiography, art and literary history, as well as Italian-Hungarian relations, in either Italian or English. The secondary goal is to publish historical works related to Hungary exclusively in Italian, which may be of interest in Italy.
The venue and theme of the Fraknói Academy, held for the tenth time, is justified by the centenary of the death of Vilmos Fraknói (1843–1924) in 2024. Vilmos Fraknói was the main organizer of Hungarian historical research in the Vatican following the gradual opening of the Holy See's collections from 1881. He initiated the Monumenta Vaticana Hungariae, and in the 1890s, using the income from his ecclesiastical benefices, he established the Hungarian Historical Institute in Rome as a private institution. He did not work alone; several others joined the efforts. The roles of his collaborators are important, yet their activities in Rome have not been thoroughly examined by historical scholarship.There is also much to be said about Fraknói Vilmos's years in Rome, his plans, and especially his legacy.

A Kutatócsoport tudományos munkatársa nemrég megvédett doktori disszertációjának eredményei alapján kifejtette, hogy a Ferdinánd mellé rendelt pápai nuncius, Girolamo Martinengo és a velencei nuncius jelentései is azt mutatják, hogy Róma és Bécs nagy érdeklődéssel és aggodalommal követte a korabeli magyar hadszíntér eseményeit, s különösképpen nagy figyelmet kapott Eger 1552-es ostroma, melyről részletes infomrációkat kapott a pápaság.
