Created between 340 and 320 BC, it represents one of the finest examples of Etruscan painting and, more generally, of ancient painting that has survived to this day.

Pedro Cano. Siete and Rome
Until September 13, 2026, Musei di Villa Torlonia , Via Nomentana, 70
An exhibition project that brings together two key bodies of recent work by the Spanish artist: the Siete pictorial cycle and a selection of works dedicated to Rome, the city where Cano lived and worked for over fifty years, considering it a chosen homeland and a place of constant inspiration. The series addresses universal themes such as migration, injustice, work, and suffering, but also emphasizes solidarity and mutual aid. Through almost life-size figures of men and women captured in suspended poses, Cano invites the viewer to a direct and silent confrontation with the vulnerability and dignity of the human condition. The articulation and distinction of the exhibition path establish a complementary dialogue between community and personal memory, between the human condition and lived experience, offering the visitor a broad and nuanced reading of Pedro Cano's artistic research.
Hours : 9:00 am to 7:00 pm (Tuesday to Sunday)

In Rome at Night. Photographs by Hervé Gloaguen
From March 25 to September 6, Museo di Roma in Trastevere , Piazza Sant'Egidio ,1/b
A member of the prestigious Viva photography agency, in the mid-1970s he was one of the rare French photographers to express himself in color, rather than the black and white of the humanist tradition, which placed human beings in their various social contexts at the center of their research. During a trip to Italy, he captured images of young people around fountains, café terraces, and restaurants, revealing exclusive corners of the Eternal City. He immediately had the intuition that he needed to capture the mysteries of nightlife and its lights. The exhibition's core is precisely the color photographs taken during that and numerous other trips to the capital between 1974 and 1995.
Opening Hours : 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM (Tuesday to Sunday)
Prices : €9.50 (full price) €5.00 (concessionary)

Keith Haring
From October 6th to April 11th, Museo di Roma, Piazza San Pantaleo, 10
A major exhibition dedicated to one of the most recognizable figures of the late twentieth century: an artist who transformed the line into public language, the street into high art, and the image into a universal message. In the turbulent New York of the 1980s—a city marked by violence, drugs, and urban decay—Keith Haring drew inspiration from the raw energy of a pre-digital era, where ideas circulated through the streets, music, clubs, and direct human contact. The exhibition traces Haring's artistic journey from his early works in New York and his iconic Subway Drawings to his political posters, sculptures, paintings, and final works. The exhibition brings together over 140 works and materials on exceptional loan from the Nakamura Keith Haring Collection, the world's largest collection dedicated to the artist, along with important public and private loans.
Opening Hours : 10:00 am to 7:00 pm (Tuesday to Sunday) )
Price : €17.00 (full price) €15.00 (reduced price)

The exhibition reconstructs the stages of Vasari's relationship with Rome through his stays in the papal capital, revealing to the public the richness and complexity of his multifaceted figure as a painter, architect, and biographer. Over seventy works are on display, including drawings, prints, engravings, letters, medals, sculptures, and paintings, sixteen of which are autographs, along with seven drawings.

Diego Rivera and the Construction of Modern Art in Mexico in the 20th Century
From June 9th to December 13th, Musei Capitolini , Palazzo Caffarelli , Piazza del Campidoglio
A journey through the colors of Mexico, an intense retrospective dedicated to the celebrated Mexican painter and muralist, whose work represents a bridge between tradition and the future, creating an autonomous and distinctive visual language for modern Mexican art. Through an extraordinary selection of over 140 works, the exhibition explores the complexity of a process rooted in the birth of independent Mexico in 1821, when the need for a cultural identity capable of representing a new, diverse, and constantly evolving country emerged. In this context, art becomes a privileged tool for visually constructing the face of Mexico, as well as a vehicle for cultural transformation projects that combine tradition and modernity and project a plural and constantly evolving image onto the international stage.
Hours : 9:30 am to 7:30 pm (daily)

Piero di Cosimo's Magdalene
From April 17 to September 6, 2026, Palazzo Venezia, Via del Plebiscito, 118
The exhibition centers on a precious panel by Piero di Cosimo, The Magdalene, held in the collection of the Gallerie Nazionali d'Arte Antica in Palazzo Barberini and loaned to VIVE as part of a strategic agreement between the two museums. In the panel, Piero di Cosimo chose to depict Magdalene, one of Jesus' most faithful followers, as a young woman of her time, a fifteenth-century Florentine, surrounded by objects from her everyday life: her robes, her string of pearls, her ointment jar, her letter, and her book. It is precisely through these objects that the work opens up and reveals a world. This is where the idea for the exhibition takes shape: to use the painting as a key to entering the lives of women in Renaissance Florence and the world around them. An interdisciplinary project involving approximately thirty scholars from diverse backgrounds and backgrounds, in a close dialogue between art history, history, and the history of material culture.
Hours : 9:30 am to 7:30 pm (daily)
Price : €18.00 (full price) €5.00 (concession)
METAMORPHOSIS: OVID AND THE ARTS
Until September 20 , Galleria Borghese , Piazzale del Museo Borghese, 5
The exhibition will offer a symbolic and sensorial reinterpretation of change, evoking the tension between order and transformation, the fluidity of identities, and the dynamic relationship between body and nature. In this dialogue between myth and art, metamorphosis is configured not only as a physical transformation, but as an aesthetic and ontological category, capable of questioning the relationships between time, space, matter, and form. The heart of the exhibition will therefore be the idea of ??metamorphosis as a generative principle, capable of traversing and redefining the cosmos, matter, and the body. Through famous myths and often tragic tales, the Metamorphoses have offered artists an inexhaustible repertoire of images and conflicts for centuries, giving visual form to passions, desires, cunning, violence, deception, and the possibility of redemption.
Opening Hours : 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM (Tuesday to Sunday)
Prices : €18.00 (full price) €2.00 (reduced price for European Union citizens aged 18 to 25)
Creatures, Creators
From May 22nd to September 20th, MAXXI Museo Nazionale delle Arti del XXI secolo , Via Guido Re
The vision of Saint Francis becomes a lens through which to reinterpret Italian art from the late twentieth century to the present. The exhibition goes beyond the iconographic image of Saint Francis to explore his way of looking at the world and the ethical value of his thought. His vision, expressed in the Canticle of the Creatures, becomes a starting point for reinterpreting Italian art from the post-World War II period to the present. The works from the MAXXI Collection dialogue with works that share similar themes and artistic languages. Some works, created specifically for the occasion, interpret the Franciscan vision, bringing together symbols, figures, and nature.
Hours : 11:00 am to 7:00 pm (Tuesday to Sunday)
Price : €14.00 (full price) €11.00 (concession)
