On June 14, 2018, Scuderie del Quirinale in Rome hosted a workshop for the ongoing exhibition "Hiroshige. Visioni dal Giappone," which runs until July 29, 2018. Seven Instagram influencers, including Donatella Pierguidi and Matteo Acitelli from #igersroma and #igersviterbo, participated in the event focused on Ikebana, the traditional Japanese art of flower arranging. This reflects a growing trend among Italian museums to enhance their social media presence, with usage increasing from 52% in 2016 to 57% in 2017, and Instagram emerging as the fastest-growing platform for cultural institutions.
