exhibition · 2026-04-27

The gardens of Palazzo Brancaccio, the last patrician palace built in Rome (1880) for Prince Salvatore Brancaccio, host the exhibition 'Lights in Nature – Life'. Designed by architect Gaetano Koch, the palace features a Nymphaeum by artist Francesco Gai. The exhibition, produced by LETSGO Company in collaboration with Show Bees, is part of the international project Naturaleza Encendida, previously staged in Paris, Barcelona, Bilbao, Tenerife, and Madrid. It runs from December 14, 2023, to February 18, 2024, at Giardini Brancaccio, Via delle Terme di Traiano 4. The immersive path includes light, sound, and projection installations across four thematic areas inspired by natural elements: biosphere, earth, water, and air. The project aims to raise awareness about climate change and promote sustainable, eco-conscious scenarios.
