There are two exhibitions that you cannot miss if you are discovering Rome or if you are in Rome and you want to know better this unique city, eternal inspiration for so many artists, not only painters but also photographers.
Two extraordinary exhibitions of Rome photos are on in the Museo di Roma, Palazzo Braschi.
“Roma Nella Camera Oscura” (Rome In The Dark Room) celebrates the 180 th anniversary of the invention of photography gathering 320 photos of Rome from the middle of the 19th century, the time of the daguerreotypes (invented in 1839) and the last years of the papal Rome followed, in the 1870, by the beginning of a new page in the history of Rome, capital of Italy.

Then, half a century later, another drastic architectural transformation during the twenty years of Fascism.
And, finally, the nowadays Rome with new suburbs but also with a lot of green areas remained from the centuries when the ruins of the ancient Rome were henceforth surrounded by a rural landscape.
The exhibition will be opened until the 22 of September but consider that the photos are part of the Museo di Roma’s archives.

The other exhibition that is on in the Palazzo Braschi (but only until the 16 of June) “100 portraits of Rome” is perhaps even more spectacular because these photos were commissioned in the last years to the biggest contemporary photographs all around the world: Joseph Koudelka, Anders Petersen, Martin Parr, Tim Davis, Marco Delogu, Leonie Hampton and many others... Every one gave his vision of Rome.
Certainly one of the most beautiful cities of the world, but not only that. Rome has a very strong and very diversified personality so that every artist can find so many different treasures. In fact, every one made his very personal “grand tour”.
This richness is clearly highlighted in this splendid exhibition full of surprises.
