Apr 22, 2023 - Aug 27, 2023

In recent years Francesco Vezzoli has developed his artistic practice by building a bridge between the contemporary imagination and art history, a practice that has prompted him to train his gaze on the art of the past and its icons, and to explore a variety of different artistic styles in an interplay of references and combinations involving solemn, eternal Classical culture and pop culture.

Various different levels intersect in the exhibition devised for the Palazzo delle Esposizioni: contemporary art, Roman history through artworks from the various branches of the Museo Nazionale Roman, and the depiction of Roman history in the cinema in the 20th century.
