Rome initiates major archaeological and cultural transformations
Rome is undergoing significant cultural and urban transformations through various artistic and archaeological initiatives. The CArMe (Centro Archeologico Monumentale di Roma) project is currently implementing over 80 interventions to redesign the city’s central archaeological heart. With investments of approximately 200 million euros from PNRR and Jubilee funds, the program aims to create an integrated system of monuments, public spaces, and pedestrian and cycling paths connecting areas from Piazza Venezia to the Terme di Caracalla.
Simultaneously, the city is hosting a dense schedule of cultural events. Rome Art Week 2026 features several exhibitions, including a collective show at Pavart gallery curated by Velia Littera and a tribute to author Tracy Chevalier at L’ARCA di NOESIS COLOSSEO. Other notable displays include a Keith Haring exhibition at Palazzo Braschi and Agnieszka Mastalerz’s installation at Villa Torlonia.
Additional programming includes the ArteScienza Festival in Rieti, focusing on contemporary music and technology, and various thematic exhibitions exploring domesticity, cinema, and the relationship between data and perception.
