contempo-rary repertoire to street music, with a trio of young
musicians ready to overwhelm and amaze the audience with their
vitality and the original-ity of music. The boarding areas B and E
of the Leonardo da Vinci airport will turn into a musi-cal stage
for the entertainment of passengers
who, either departing or in transit, will have the chance to
attend the performances of talented musicians coming from all over
the world. Airport Op-era Live is one of the
many initiatives organized by Aeroporti di Roma to entertain

The Ara Pacis Museum hosts a magnifi-cent exhibition dedicated
to the contro-versial Roman emperor. The display path tells the
story of Claudius’ life and controversial kingdom, from his birth
in Lyon in 10 BC, until his death in Rome in 54 AD, highlighting
his per-sonality, his political and administrative work; the
connections with Augustus and his famous brother Germanicus; the
tragic relationship with his wives Messalina and Agrippina, as well
as the imperial Roman court scenario and the de-batable events that
marked the Julio-Claudian dynasty.Crowned in 41 AD, at the age of
fifty, after the suspicious death of Germanicus, the legitimate
heir of Augustus, and the assassination of Caligula, Tiberius
Claudius Caesar Augustus Ger-manicus became, after a long
political-econom-ic negotiation, the first emperor elected by
ac-clamation by a military division, the praetorians.Supported by
the updated researches of histo-rians and archaeologists, it
depicts a Claudius slightly different from the obscure and
unflat-tering sovereign described by ancient authors, rendering the
image of a caring emperor, willing and able to promote useful
economic reforms
and large public works, contributing with his legislation to the
administrative development of the Empire. An original set-up, made
by images and vision and sound suggestions - in which the personae
of the narration are also the main characters animating the
installations - turns the visit into an engaging experience. The
exhibition boasts important international and national loans,
displaying as well restored pieces from the Civic Museums
Antiquarium Celio System, the Museum of Roman Civiliza-tion and the
Museum of Rome. Among these, works of art of absolute value and of
extraor-dinary historical and archaeological interest: from the
“Tabula Claudiana”, with the famous speech delivered in 48 AD, to
the precious cam-eo with a portrait of Emperor Claudius from the
Kunsthistorisches Museum of Vienne, up to the small but suggestive
gilded bronze portrait of Agrippina Minor, from Alba Fucens, loaned
by the Superintendent of Archeology, Fine Arts and Landscape of
Abruzzo. For the first time is exhibited also the portrait of
Germanicus of the Sorgente Group Foundation, an important work
celebrating the young and beloved prince struck by an adverse
destiny.
Aida and La Traviata
Coral ReefConcerts in the Park Aniene Festival
Once upon a Time… Festival Sete Sóis Sete Luas
The summer season of the Teatro dell’Opera di Roma at the Baths
of Caracalla starts on Thursday, July, 4 with the Aida, staged
until August, 3. The refined direction of Denis Krief revives the
very core of the story, alongside its majestic and celebra-tory
aspects. From July, 19 to August, 8, La Traviata returns, set by
director Lorenzo Mariani in the at-mosphere of the Fellini’s Dolce
Vita. Both operas will display subtitles in Italian and
English.
Echoes of the Lusophonous culture’s mu-sic return to enrich the
roman summer with the Festival Sete Sóis Sete Luas. An ex-pression
of the main artistic manifestations of the peoples of the
Mediterranean world, the fes-tival enhances the different cultural
identities, conjugating them with the powerful expressive means of
popular, ethnic, traditional music and the plastic arts. July, 11
to 25.
Parco della Musica as a world to discover, an enchanted castle
where art and history mix with everyday life; a guided tour
revealing its architectures, tracing a path across gardens to reach
a small magical place: the roof garden of Music. All spaces suggest
multiple readings and funny associations between reality and
fantasy. For accompanied children from 5 years upwards. Every
Sunday.
In the wonderful frame of the Park of Casa del Jazz, the renown
Capitoline festival is back. A lively agenda expressing the freedom
to move among different territories - sometimes distant from each
other - under the flag of fantasy, curiosity, search for always new
suggestions. “Signora libertà, signorina fantasia”, from the lyrics
of a famous song by Fabrizio De André, is the leitmotiv of the
festival, now in its 29th edition. Until August, 1.
An even richer agenda of live shows returns to animate the banks
of River Aniene. From the early afternoon, photographic and reading
workshops will be set up in the park, alongside with areas
conceived for children and their families. In an intimate and cozy
at-mosphere, fully respectful of the host environment, the event is
an original container of music, theater, dance, visual arts in
general, poetic and narrative research, acoustic and performing
experiences. Until August, 5.
The evocative exhibition set up by the Civic Museum of Zoology
reproduces the coral reef of the Red Sea, rich in biodiversity,
hosting an ex-tremely high percentage of endemic species. A
re-alistic diorama, enhanced with interactive tools, will lead
young visitors to discover this immense rich-ness inhabited by
colorful fishes, turtles, hedgehogs and starfish, molluscs and
crustaceans with amazing and colorful shapes. Permanent
exhibition.

THE GARDEN OF EDENThe famous chapel of S. Zenon, in the church
of Santa Prassede, is the only IX century Byzantine monument
existing in Rome, as well as one of the most important in Italy. It
is also called the Garden of Eden, due to its magnificent mosaics
depicting flowers, saints, a female figure with a halo and, in the
center of the vault, a Christ surrounded by four angels.
FARNESE ARCHBuilt in the XVI century to connect - according to a
never-realized project - the Farnese palace with the family
buildings on the other side of the Tiber, it is located in Via
Giulia. It is renown and still admired for its harmonious lines,
enriched by ornamental plants falling from the balustrade towards
the street.
THE SMALL AEDICULAThis graceful cross-bearing aedicule is due to
the creativity of Ignazio Jacometti. Pope Pius IX had it built in
1869 in the center of the Tiber island to replace the column
knocked down by the violent impact of a cart. In the four niches
are depicted Saint Batholomew, Saint Paolino of Nola, Saint
Francesco of Assisi and Saint John of God.

It is a historic square in Rome, located amidst the Monti
district, the Celio and the Esquilino. Known in the Middle Ages as

cathedral built in the 4th century AD, the oldest and most
important basilica of the Western world as well as the first of the
