Location: Rione Parione, various locations
An encounter seen as a metropolitan walk, between science and anecdotes. A useful exploration to understand the possibilities of modifying one's own perception with regard to a complex entity such as the city of Rome, taking its oldest, most overlayed and complex body as its object of contemplation: the old town centre. The walk will also become an occasion to resolve one or more practical problems, with hints towards a number of contemporary strategies. Max...More
April 15 2013 – Luca Vitone
More
Location: Osteria Bonelli
Pratica del luogo (Practice of Place) Luca Vitone began in 1992 to use food as his means of expression in order to set up certain investigations into places. In 1997, with Liberi Tutti! (Everyone Free! ), he created an itinerary to discover the more marginal places of the urban space of Rome, referencing the history of the anarchic movement.

May 6 2013 – Andrea Jemolo

Location: Ponte di Nona, Tor Tre Teste
Ponte di Nona is a peripheral neighbourhood in the eastern part of Rome that clearly shows the results of recent public urban management. The neighbourhood is in fact one of the first in Rome to have been planned from scratch, according to a new type of convention between local authorities and constructors. With Tor tre Teste, it is one of the areas where the often contradictory endeavour to challenge today's construction industry has crystallised. It is a collection...More

More
Location: Fondazione Baruchello
The Fondazione Baruchello (Baruchello Foundation) was established by the artist Gianfranco Baruchello just outside the urban centre of Rome, in the very place where he had instituted one of the most radical and coherent experiments of his artistic practice: the Agricola Cornelia S.p.A. The Fondazione is only the most recent among the many projects that the artist has brought forward during the fifty years of his artistic life. It is, to this day, the space in which Baruchello...More
