Approximately 300 pieces will be on display at Curia Iulia in the Roman Forum until 16 September. The exhibition features precious ceramics, jewels and mosaics that narrate the period of maximum splendour – beginning with the second century B.C. – of glassworks in the Roman world. The expo is presented in chronological order and traces all techniques adopted in the art of working glass. The most substantial portion illustrates glass production during the Roman Empire and is characterized by the luxurious works created for that society’s élite such as the splendid blue tray engraved with  bacchic figures from Albenga. The versatility of glass allows for the creation of the many gems and jewels on display. The exhibit closes with the imperial insignia of Emperor Maxentius found along the slopes of the Palatine Hill.

This year, Rome’s Palazzo Incontro has set up its splendid halls to host an extremely fascinating exhibit dedicated to Guido Crepax’s famous heroine: Valentina. This comic series heroine was considered a novelty on the cultural panorama of the 1960’s and 1970’s because her character was extremely erotic and sensual. These aspects incarnated many of the pulsations of emancipation and women’s independence of those times and were emphasized by the character’s natural and constant ageing. The exhibit unwinds among never before seen worktables and storyboards, sets, outlines and settings originating from the comic strip – not to mention videos like the Homage to actress Louise Brooks, who was Crepax’s inspiration to create Valentina.

Another anticipated concert in Rome. Placebo, the famous English band, will be on the stage of Rock in Roma on 2 August. They have sold 11 million copies of their albums and are always at the head of hit parade charts all over the world – earning them the right to be a part of rock history. Placebo’s sound ranges from Britpop and post-grunge to punk rock and electronic contamination. Their sixth studio album “Battle for the Sun” was released in 2009 and was recorded in over three months with producer Dave Bottrill. This “hard pop” album opened a new era for the band and represents the beginning of a new life for a group that works in the most complete artistic liberty. The record was produced on an executive level directly by the band without the employment of any label.

The rather long summer season at the Teatro Marcello will feature performances by pianists, flautists, guitarists, violinists, opera singers and such famous names as Japanese pianist Hiroshi Takasu. These great artists will bring a musical whirlwind to life that will be an unforgettable soundtrack to this Roman summer.

This could very well be the most anticipated jazz concert of the summer! Keith Jarrett is back after the last concert he held in Rome in 2010. This Great Trio made up of Keith Jarrett, Gary Peacock and Jack DeJohnette is considered a small miracle in terms of balance and creativity. These three have been making music together for thirty years and have recorded 19 albums. Every time these three extraordinary musicians get on stage they conjure up a harmonic alchemy and a telepathic understanding that makes the flow of music natural, immediate, essential yet very rich. The success of the albums of this New Standards Trio and their tours have made them one of the mainstays in the history of Jazz.
