Colori dei Romani. I mosaici dalle Collezioni Capitoline. Riflessioni a partire da una mostra romana alla Centrale Montemartini, la città contemporanea e un testo di Paul Ricoeur

Abstract

Reflections starting from a Roman exhibition at the Centrale Montemartini in Rome “Colors of the Romans. Mosaics from the Capitoline Collections”. An exhibition full of ideas, which has activated a series of reflections around the relationship between contemporaneity, cities, archeology and citizenship. Many sources illustrated the archaeological discoveries with watercolors and drawings, historical photos and testimonies. The construction of the exhibition was not based on the fascination with the “ancient”, but it was based on what I like to define as the context of the story.
