​PDM Auditorium Parco della Musica

3/5/2018

0 Comments

 

​Viale de Coubertin, 30

Picture
The first among the contemporary architectures realized in the past decades in Rome.
The Auditorium by Renzo Piano is a complex with 3 concert halls, soon renamed by the Romans, ‘le cozze’ (the mussels) where outdoor concerts can be held too in an open air arena.

I still remind the first time I attended a concert soon after it  inaugurated. I was in the medium ‘cozza’ and  the sound was strange, like acid. the structure was too new! In fact, the interior of each audience hall is made of timber, therefore is like a musical instrument in itself.

​Now the cozze are perfect!

the visitors by michelangelo pistoletto
'the visitors' by Michelangelo Pistoletto
Established in 1925, the art gallery documents the artistic scene in Rome and Italy from the end of the 19th century to the post-war period.  A section is dedicated to internazional artists of the 20th century too. Sculptures, paintings and graphics. I'm not a 'modern art addicted', but i really like it.
Very nice and elegant Coffe shop and bistrot. Immersed in the Borghese park. A good idea is visiting the Pietro Canonica museum  or the Etruscan museum of Villa Giulia nearby.

Picture
The museum is dedicated to the late 19th century artist Pietro Canonica and housed in his former home.
This small but precious museum, located in the heart of a bourgeois villa provides  suggesting late-century atmospheres.
A sculptor of international fame, passionate about music and composer himself, spent a long time at the courts of Europe where the aristocracy commissioned portraits and memorial monuments. He moved to Rome in 1922 and managed to get permission from the municipality to use this building as his own home-studio. In return, the artist commits himself to donate, after death, all the works collected there over the years to become a museum named after him.
