galleria 1
set design by Dante Ferretti
An unusual walk through the history of the city.
A selection of works and artefacts, rarely seen by the public, from the deposits of three of Rome’s most important museum institutions: Galleria Borghese, Galleria Nazionale and Musei Capitolini.
With this exhibition, MAXXI is displaying for the first time in its spaces a conspicuous number of works of ancient and modern art, welcoming them in an immersive scenographic setting conceived and designed for the occasion by the multi-Oscar prize-winner Dante Ferretti. An authorial scenography that sees the city and the street expands, invading the closed environment of the gallery and questioning the usual relationship between inside and outside.
Through an interplay of references and perspectives, the works engage in a close dialogue with MAXXI’s topicality and, through the site’s contemporary sensibility, are reinterpreted, offering an updated look at the present.
In collaboration with Galleria Borghese, La Galleria Nazionale and Musei Capitolini.
