Rome power outages and Conversano art exhibition

In Conversano, an exhibition featuring artists Clément Thoby and Jean Mallard is scheduled for August 16, preceding a concert by Gaia Banfi. Thoby’s work focuses on colored pencil landscapes inspired by his background in animation, while Mallard presents watercolor and gouache pieces influenced by his time in Naples, incorporating elements of Russian folk painting and Indian miniatures.

In the Longarina area of Rome, residents have experienced recurring nightly power outages since August 10. The blackouts, occurring typically between 19:30 and 20:30, have affected via Luigi Pernier and surrounding streets. Acea attributed the disruptions to network overloads caused by high energy demand during hot summer evenings. While technicians have intervened to resolve the issue, field verifications are ongoing.
