National Geographic photographers have been telling the story of human beings of the world with extraordinary images for over a century. These works are on display in the collective exhibition “Our World” at Rome’s Palazzo delle Esposizioni from 6 February to 2 May.

This is National Geographic Italia’s third show, following “Water, Air, Fire and Earth” and “Mother Earth”, and proposes 90 splendid photos that have not yet been on display by the fine photographers working for the magazine in Italy and throughout the world, telling the story of the human family in the most diverse locations. Feelings, values, moods and lifestyles reveal the great “similarities” between the world’s populations and human individuals. These photographs not only make it possible for us to see this, they help us understand, share, stand with and feel for our fellow human beings. These pictures focus our gaze on the world, through good times and bad and help us feel closer to our fellow man.

During the exhibition at Rome’s Palazzo delle Esposizioni, there will also be workshops, debates with experts and photographers about main themes of “Our World”: environmental impact, global warming, energy development, new resources, nourishment, bio-sustainability and new economy.

Rome’s Palazzo delle Esposizioni is dedicating an important tribute to the great Italian master, founder of the school of Metaphysical Art.
The exhibit is offering an original opportunity to become familiar with his art by admiring his masterpieces through the painter’s view of the world of Nature.
De Chirico was born in 1888 in Volos, the heart of Classical Greece, to Italian parents. He dedicated his entire life to the poetic exploration of an art aimed at making the enigmatic quality of reality emerge.
The purpose of the “La Natura secondo de Chirico” exhibit in Rome is to present an occasion for a new critical élan, a re-reading of works by the 20th–century master through the central theme of his poetics. The idea of Nature remains a constant reference: whether it is being idealized (as in his mythological landscapes) or it is being rejected (as in the emotionless geometries of his mannequins).
The exhibit is edited by distinguished art critic Achille Bonito Oliva and features 120 paintings from the most illustrious public and private collections, arranged in a rich and evocative itinerary in the galleries alongside Rome’s monumental Rotonda di Palazzo delle Esposizioni.

The exhibition is divided into four parts and is spread over three floors of the museum. Through the vision of imposing marble statues, fine works in bronze and terracotta sculptures entire cycles, ornaments and home decor items made of bronze and silver, the highest value style will be told a time of profound change in the canons and the stylistic aesthetic taste of ancient Rome. A time when Greek influence became predominant to involve fully the cultural world of the Roman Empire.
The Age of conquest begins from the time of formation of the Roman Empire, when Rome gradually expanded its control throughout the Mediterranean basin, from Spain to the coasts of Asia Minor. This period saw the formation of a purely Roman figurative language, which capitalizes on the entire Greek artistic culture, which in time is received, absorbed and modified.
