EXHIBITIONS

I he first Jubilee was proclaimed by Pope Bonifacio VIII in the year 1300 and this exhibition is a prestigious event on Medieval history, art and culture.

1300 is also the year in which Dante wrote his Divine Comedy where he mentions the pilgrims on their way to Rome which, according to the learned interpretations of Medievalists, was at the time an international city, updated on European contemporary art and extremely avant-garde in the arts and culture.

There are 200 exhibits including sculptures, mosaics, frescoes, liturgical vestments and other religious objects. Plays and performances accompany the exhibition divided into various sectors.

This unprecedented event is to attract art lovers and all those interested in the evolution of a people. It recreates an epoch and a city, which has changed in time without, however, forsaking its ancient beauty.

In fact, here we can see an architectural reconstruction of the Laterano, once the seat of the Pope, statues by Arnolfo di Cambio, Giotto's contemporary and a section dedicated to the Jewish Rome of the time with beautiful manuscripts illustrated by the "scriptoria" of the church

Palazzo Venezia, Piazza Venezia, Rome. Closed on Mondays. Open Tuesday to Sundays 10 a.m. - 19 p.m.
