Christmas Projections on Historic Roman Palaces

Until January 6, Piazza Navona and Palazzo Senatorio on the Campidoglio are illuminated by artist projections in a project promoted by Roma Capitale in collaboration with Zètema. The initiative, titled Nascimento. Ispirazione Romana, created by Unità C1, draws inspiration from Renaissance Roman drawings. Alongside this, the project AmoR, che move, curated by architect Livia Cannella for the Sovrintendenza Capitolina, reproduces 14 works from art history symbolically linked to the concept of the Nativity—including Michelangelo's Creation of Adam and Bernini's Apollo and Daphne—on the facades of Palazzo Braschi and Palazzo Pamphilj. Organizers state the goal is to restore Rome's cultural dignity. The article notes that Rome's contemporary art scene is thriving through institutions like MAXXI, MACRO, Palazzo delle Esposizioni, and the Mattatoio, suggesting future editions could involve contemporary artists. The piece ends by questioning what the new culture assessor Miguel Gotor might think.
