A fascinating journey into myth and legend will be offered by the exhibition “Penelope” at the Roman Forum and Palatine.
The “Penelope” exhibition focuses on one of the most fascinating characters of Greek mythology.
The exhibition, with a wide selection of about fifty works, explores the myth and fascination of the figure of Penelope, which is transmitted down to us from the distant era of the Homeric poems, thanks to two equally incisive traditions: the literary and the visual representation.
Through Jan. 19, 2025, visitors can immerse themselves in the history and culture of the mythical figure of Odysseus' wife, exploring her different artistic interpretations through the centuries.
Through March 2, 2025, the exhibition “Göbeklitepe: The Enigma of a Sacred Place” opens at the Colosseum on the second level of the Flavian Amphitheater.
The exhibition presents one of the oldest and most fascinating archaeological sites in the world, located in the southeastern region of Turkey and dating back to the Neolithic period between 9,500 and 8,200 BCE.
This site, known as the “world's first temple,” is considered the oldest settlement with monumental structures ever discovered, revealing the complexity of early human communities and their sophisticated religious beliefs.
For lovers of world photography, the retrospective exhibition dedicated to Franco Fontana is an event not to be missed.
From December 13, 2024 to June 2, 2025, at the Ara Pacis Museum, the public will have the opportunity to admire a selection of iconic works that represent his significant contribution to contemporary photography.
This will be an unmissable opportunity to discover the evolution of his style and visual research, characterized by his innovative use of color and unique interpretation of landscape.
In addition, the exhibition will not only present photographs, but also offer a series of side events, such as meetings with the artist and book signing sessions, which will allow visitors to interact directly with his work and artistic vision.
This approach not only celebrates Fontana's talent, but also encourages an active dialogue with the public, making the exhibition experience even more engaging and meaningful
