Rome, city of villas and gardens: among the profusion of palaces, museums, monuments and ancient ruins, what is often hidden from view is not immediately apparent. Only after passing through monumental gateways you can discover the charm of gardens with exquisite buildings and spectacular fountains. This exhibition allows us to understand how rich and magnificent this heritage is, which, despite the damage suffered over time, still constitutes a significant aspect of Rome history. It offers us a “stroll” through almost 190 works – paintings, prints, books, models – spanning the centuries from the 16th to the 20th century, showing us the richness and variety of types resulting from changing tastes and political and social scenarios. The works, often unpublished, come from major European and Italian museums and many private collections, and are complemented by multimedia and interactive installations. The exhibition is curated by experts in the field and is accompanied by a rich catalogue with texts by Italian and foreign scholars who open up new perspectives on this heritage, with more than one surprise.
