Until November 23 the Capitoline Museums in Palazzo Caffarelli in Rome are going to host the exhibition “L’invenzione dei Fori Imperiali. Demolizioni e scavi: 1924 - 1940” , organized by Superintendency of Fine Arts and City of Rome.
This artistic event in Rome is composed by 140 works (photographs, paintings, frescos and sculptures) by different autors (as Michele Cascella, Maria Barosso and Lucia Hoffmann) that focus on the demolition and excavations in the area of Imperial Fora between 1920 and 1940. The reflection of these artists on the upsetting in urban landscape, combining nostalgia and celebration of a new Rome, is the occasion to relive the social and cultural context of those years.
It is also possibile to admire 30 Roman relics and 5 fragments from the 17th, discovered after the demolitions of some palaces in the area of Imperial Fora.
The exhibition is opened from Tuesday to Sunday, from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. (full ticket 4,50 €).
