Città aperta 2025
Rome in the Jubilee Year
In the heart of the Vittoriano, the Sala Zanardelli opens its doors to a story told through images: from June 26 to September 28, 2025, Città aperta 2025. Roma nell’anno del Giubileo (Open City 2025. Rome in the Year of the Jubilee) will be on display, a photographic exhibition that captures the soul of the capital during the Holy Year.
Three great artists: Diana Bagnoli, Alex Majoli, and Paolo Pellegrin interpret Rome from different perspectives: the spirituality evident in everyday gestures, the solemnity of ceremonies, the humanity of pilgrims on their journey. A journey that combines memory and contemporaneity, restoring a city captured in its most authentic form.
