Romaison Exhibition Celebrates Roman Sartorial Heritage at Ara Pacis
At the Museo dell'Ara Pacis in Rome, the Romaison exhibition, curated by Clara Tosi Pamphili, commenced and will continue until November 29, 2020. This exhibition highlights archival gems from Roman tailoring workshops associated with cinema, displaying costumes from notable films such as Federico Fellini's Satyricon, Barbarella, Pier Paolo Pasolini's Medea, and Salò. A performance titled Embodying Pasolini, featuring Tilda Swinton and directed by Olivier Saillard, is slated for 2021. The showcase features creations from ateliers like Annamode and includes sketches from Gabriele Mayer's archive, which will be donated to the Galleria Nazionale. It pays tribute to mannequin manufacturer Mensura and presents a map of tailoring workshops in Rome. Romaison is supported by Roma Capitale and organized by Zètema-Progetto Cultura.
