“Rovine”: classical art meets poetry

Palazzo Massimo
von 29 August 2020 bis 30 September 2020

From 29 August to 30 September, a special audio guide brings the magic of poetry to the masterpieces of classical art. Born as part of the multimedia project Rovine, conceived by the writer and poet Gabriele Tinti and already made available online during the lockdown, the poetic audio guides accompany us to the discovery of some of the great works kept in Palazzo Massimo and Palazzo Altemps, two seats of the National Roman Museum.

The audio-video-textual poetic contents, available in English and Italian, are accessible through the QR codes placed next to the works. Source of inspiration are the Ludovisi Gaul, the Erinyes, the Ludovisi Hermes and the Ares of Palazzo Altemps, alongside to the Boxer at Rest, the Mattei Sarcophagus, the Apollo del Tevere and the Dionysus of Palazzo Massimo. The verses are recited by great actors such as Marton Csokas and Alessandro Haber. The audio guide of the “Boxer at Rest” includes the video and audio of Kevin Spacey’s live reading.

The project is the first experiment in the world in this regard. Its implementation is part of a broader initiative, active for some years, which offered a series of live readings in front of art works and which involved important actors and some of the major museums in the world.
