Summer on the Palatine Hill – see what’s on

The Palatine Hill is a protagonist of Summer 2018. An exhibition entitled “Il Palatino e il suo giardino segreto. Nel fascino degli Horti farnesiani is a journey back in time, from the mid-16th century when Cardinal Alessandro Farnese created the gardens until the days of the Grand Tour and Goethe’s description of them. It is a multisensorial route that also becomes a multimedia and immersive one, with virtual reconstructions of the old Farnese Gardens.
