Il Palatino e il suo giardino segreto ; Nel fascino degli Horti Farnesiani – Roma (Italy)
For the first time an exhibition narrates one of the best-known locations of Renaissance and Baroque Rome: the famous Gardens, or Horti, created by the Farnese family on the Palatine Hill and celebrates the completion of the restoration project carried out on the garden’s aviaries. Located inside a vast archaeological area, the exhibition’s itinerary follows the original path of the gardens commissioned by Cardinal Alessandro Farnese in the 16th century: from Via Nova, to the Roman Forum, up to the aviaries on the Palatine. The itinerary is designed to tell the story of the Horti, from the garden’s original Renaissance landscaping by the Farnese family to the era of the Grand Tour, when they assumed that Romantic guise that enchanted Goethe, to the turn of the 20th century and the start of excavation projects to uncover the archaeological remains of ancient Rome. The use of immersive technologies is a fundamental part of the exhibition.
