The Egyptological Collections came into being in 1962, thanks to an initial donation made by Laura Birga Picozzi, a descendant of Gaetano Rosellini, who in 1828-1829 had participated in the 'Franco-Tuscan Expedition to Egypt and Nubia', directed by his nephew Ippolito Rosellini (the founder of Italian Egyptology) and Jean François Champollion.
