SAMI (Società degli Archeologi Medievisti Italiani), founded in 1994 by leading figures in medieval archeology and research in general, such as Ottone d'Assia, Riccardo Francovich and Tiziano Mannoni, is currently made up of over 500 members.

It is a non-profit society, which aims to constitute a meeting and comparison point between Italian medievalist archaeologists, academic and non-academic, to study the material sources of the post-classical and pre-industrial era and to promote all initiatives aimed at the investigation and enhancement of the archaeological heritage of the Middle Ages on the national territory.

Already starting from the 70s of the last century, not surprisingly, it was the development of Medieval Archeology as an autonomous university discipline, which stimulated a strong commitment to studies on the post-ancient phases of the territory in an approach of global archeology and complexity; consequently, attention to the links existing between the modern territory and its diachronic phases in an attempt to recognize and enhance its assets and dynamics.

Based on this tradition, one of the primary objectives of SAMI is, therefore, to foster and promote knowledge of the monumental and landscape heritage in its diachrony, for the benefit and in relation to the widest possible public and through a serious strategy of cultural planning. , in the belief that heritage must take on, once and for all, that leading role that belongs to it in the country's economy.
