Sunday
February 11, 10 am: Guided visit in english to Palazzo Altemps - a Renaissance palace, a unique sculpture
collection and a surprising modern art exhibit.
Palazzo
Altemps, few meters away from Navona square, is a wonderful Renaissance palace
once owned by Cadinal Altemps, nowadays houses a collection of antiquities
assembling the statues of the leading roman families of the past, one for all:
the legendary Boncompagni-Ludovisi collection.
Just the location and the statues
exposed should be enough to make of this museum a must for every visitor
of the city. But in the next months the museum will be furthermore
enriched by the exhibition dedicated to Piero Fornasetti (Milan, 1913-Milan,
1988) "Practical Citations".
The greek
and roman masterpieces are surrounded by surreal art pieces of this Italian
polyhedral artist, creating a surprising vision where past and present creations
are surprisingly talking the same language of art, a language based on symmetry
and balanced forms.
