Keys to Rome
Rome Museum: The city of Augustus, Mercati di Traiano
(September 24, 2014 – May 10, 2015)
On the 23 September 2014, in occasion of the two-thousandth anniversary of the death of Augustus, 13 countries will meet in Rome, Amsterdam, Alexandria and Sarajevo for the opening of this great exhibit, an interactive journey to discover the city of Augustus and the Roman Empire, seen and experienced from its four corners, four fascinating venues on Roman culture. Rome’s location will be the wonderful setting of the Imperial Fora Museum and will include two interconnected sections focused on storytelling and on the description of most relevant Augustan places in the capital. The museum collection can be discovered through a digital itinerary using computer graphics movies, interaction installations, multimedia and mobile applications to find out the secrets of the Roman family. A map of the city will give the visitor the feeling of “walking” within the city of Rome of two thousand years ago, thanks to advanced multimedia technologies.
Henri Cartier Bresson
Rome Museum: Museo dell’Ara Pacis
(September 26, 2014 – January 25, 2015)
Genius of composition, an extraordinary visual intuition and the ability to catch immediately most fleeting, but also significant moments, make Henri Cartier Bresson (1908–2004) one of the greatest photographers of the 20th century. Directing his glance on the most significant historical events he mixes poetry with witness power. From Surrealism passing through Cold War, from World War to decolonization, he has been “the eye of the century” as it has been called. The Rome’s exhibition proposes a new interpretation of the enormous corpus that the artist left us. It covers his whole work path, revealing a great study of his archive. More than 500 photographies, drawings, documents that gather the most important icons but also the less known images of the master.

Tiepolo: i colori del disegno
Rome Museum: Musei Capitolini
(October 3, 2014 – January 18, 2015)
In the history of european pictorial culture, the stunning quantity and variety of Tiepolo’s drawings stands out like a grand monument of 700’s graphics. The cornerstone of his art is exactly drawing, at the core of the production of his singular family venetian atelier. A vast multiplicity of registers, techniques and themes, according to the different types of his works, created a “drawing color” typical of the versatile Tiepolo’s world. This exhibition is dedicated to the selection of his works coming from little-known italian collections, with works never displayed yet. 4 sections according to 4 salient thematic nuclei, sorted by the different techniques used: “thoughts”, “memories”, “amusements” and “replicas” of his children. In addition a beautiful selection of his paintings. Definitely an unmissable exhibition!
