“Homines” by Mario Ballocco are on display for the very first time: these figures are stylized in a disquieting, cruel and desperate manner – incarnating the social and anthropological dynamics of our everyday lives: falling in love, conflict, submission, betrayal, cultural and political commitment etc.
The sketches were done in the context of the second half of the 1940’s, after the horrific and traumatic years of World War II. The exhibit is made complete by a documentary section that features twelve issues of “AZ” magazine, founded and directed by Ballocco in Milan between 1949 and 1952 along with catalogues, photographs of that era, letters and other material that testify to the activity of this artist.

The fascinating Trajan’s Market will be hosting an extraordinary exhibit that displays a substantial amount of ancient Romanian treasures – for the first time in Italy.
The exposition will feature 140 pieces that come from the Gold Room of the National Museum of History in Bucharest, for the most part. These finds cover an extended period of time: from the Bronze Age (17th century B.C.) to the Byzantine Era (5th-6th century A.D.) and were used for a great variety of purposes. One of the special features of this exhibit is the collection of 20 of the many gold staters found in the capital city of Dacia with King Koson’s name engraved in Greek letters. These coins dating back to the 1st century B.C. are the only instance in the entire Dacian coin production that feature the name of the issuing authority on them.

Italy’s best-loved crone is celebrated in the most traditional and enjoyable way in Rome! Navona Square has been the best place for celebrating Epiphany for almost a century: booths filled with traditional sweets, stockings of all kinds and sizes and especially the “enchanted apple”. This holiday classic is an apple on a stick that has been coated with red sugar (the traditional apple from Snow White). There are a good amount of performing street artists to entertain the people filling up the Piazza and even some live Crones (Befane) waiting to be photographed alongside the guests.
