CHRONICHETTA MENSUALE. - A singular scientific and popular periodical published in Rome from October 1, 1866 to 1895 and edited successively by three members of the Armellini family: the abbot Pietro, a scientist (d. 1875), Prof. Tito (d. 1892) and Prof. Mariano Armellini (v.), Christian archaeologist (d. 1896).

The first series, which bore the ample title: C. m. delle più importanti moderne scoperte nelle scienze naturali e loro applicazioni alle arti ed industrie e commodi della vita e di altre invenzioni, and the second had a predominantly scientific and technical content; the second, with the addition of archaeological notes collected by Mariano Armellini. The third was restricted, by the latter, to archaeology and history alone. The periodical, of small format and bulk, was printed by various typographies, lastly by the Vaticana.
