exhibition · 2026-04-26

Located at the intersection of Via Tiburtina and Via dei Reti in Rome's San Lorenzo district, Palazzo Sartorio, known as the "decorated palace," was acquired by sculptor Giuseppe Maria Sartorio in the late 19th century. The building is adorned with sculptures depicting figures in traditional attire. Following Sartorio's disappearance in the 1920s, it became home to the Calizza family for more than sixty years. In 2009, artist Paolo William Tamburella took up residence in the studio, later joined by Emiliano Maggi, Davide Quayola, Cyril De Commarque, Tommaso Fagioli, and Costanza Chia. They are set to present an exhibition on June 24, 2024, at 6 PM. Sartorio was born in 1854 and passed away in 1922.
