Time.news – An unusual journey through the places of the Eternal City, which renews the wonder of rediscovering its truest and most intense beauty. It is the exhibition itinerary of the exhibition ‘Rome silent beauty‘, promoted and organized by the Webuild Group and by the VIVE Institute – Vittoriano and Palazzo Venezia, with the patronage of the Municipality of Rome, hosted in the Sala Zanardelli of the Vittoriano and open to the public from 20 January to 28 February.
Through the shots taken by Moreno Maggi in 2020 during the months of the lockdown, the exhibition, with free admission, returns a different Rome from how we usually travel and experience it. A Rome made extraordinarily beautiful by the silence of those days, in a space normally besieged by traffic and overcrowding, to restore the true and stainless face to the city, ready to host the major international events of the coming years.
“True beauty ultimately lies in the interaction and stories lived by people in the places to which they belong – underlines Pietro Salini, Webuild CEO -. From this idea we can start again to imagine and design a network of infrastructures more suited to the needs of the 21st century, while respecting the historical heritage and the fascinating stratifications of a capital like Rome”.
“They inspire us to work on the future and plan interventions on a city that has to restart from the idea of a large infrastructural project that takes full advantage of our best construction and creative skills – continues Salini -, to create a more livable city with comparable standards to the great world capitals. We need to rethink, reconceive, re-imagine the way of living in cities of art and how to use the extraordinary cultural heritage that our predecessors have left us. And consequently rethinking tourism, commerce, urban decorum , transport, free time, sport and all that the city can offer to citizens and to those who come to visit it”.
The exhibition, curated by Roberto Koch and Alessandra Mauro, is a journey made up of photos, videos and multimedia projections that allows you to rediscover the meaning of a new way of living, or living with-living, making the visitor go on an emotional and intellectual journey to meditate on the sense of community. Since recent days, the images have also illuminated Palazzo Venezia, thanks to video mapping, conceived and created by Webuild, with projections that alternate photos and short plays of light and which will be visible every evening from 18.30 to 23.30 until 28 February.
