Forty period dresses from a private collection, displayed in the Appartamento dei Conservatori at the Campidoglio and the Montemartini Power Plant, document Italian fashion from the nineteenth into the twentieth century.

The adventure story of one of Guido Reni's final masterpieces, the Marriage of Bacchus and Ariadne, long thought to have been destroyed in a fire in 1650 and of which a large fragment depicting Ariadne has recently been found.

17th century paintings, silverware, chinaware and azulejos. New view of 17th century Portuguese art and culture.

The exhibition has been planned around the presentation to the public of St. John the Baptist, a masterpiece by Annibale Carracci (Bologne 1560 - Rome 1609) after over three centuries in which its whereabouts were unknown.

The exhibition features ancient sculptures from the Villa Borghese Collection, prior to the setting up of the Villa Borghese Museum in the Casina delle Rose.

A hundred decorative drawings and some porcelain products from the well-known French factory and from French and Italian museums.

Evidence of trade between the Greek islands and the eastern shores of the Mediterranean in a particularly interesting period for the formation of Greek figurative culture.

This exhibition analyses the life and times of the animal which symbolises the city of Rome, from the period of antiquity to the modern age, and presents conclusions drawn from the restoration programme.

The new arrangement for the Palazzo dei Conservatori has a modern architectural note to it thanks to the great glass hall where the equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius is now situated together with the imposing remains of the temple to Capitoline Jupiter and other items from recent excavations; the Campidoglio also hosts once again the sculptures of the roman Horti and the Castellani collection of Greek and Etruscan vases.
