Within the project C.A.R.E. (Corpus Architecturae Religiosae Europeae), which studies the architecture of religious buildings dating from IV to X century, a section, coordinated by the Author, concerning Central Italy has been developed in 2012. The collection and the organization of the data was carried out by seven working groups each dedicated to a different topographic area (Rome within the walls, Rome outside the walls, Latium excluding Rome, Tuscany, Marche, Umbria, Abruzzo). In this contribution, the managers and researchers of each area are indicated, the research method is described and a double way of presentation of results (a Wiki-type database and the print edition in six volumes) is discussed. In conclusion, indications are provided on the actual progress of the work, with specific references to the urban area of Rome: for this area, enough data has been collected to complete the first of the six volumes planned, which is expected to be published in 2018.
