Back to Nature 2021. Contemporary Art in Villa Borghese. Second edition

The Back to Nature exhibition project, now in its second edition, includes a series of contemporary art installations set up in Villa Borghese park.

The event, born as part of a program to enhance the historic parks of the city, is free and offers a series of works designed to be exhibited outdoors to enjoy the park spaces in an new way, through a path that winds along the Parco dei Daini and the Piazza di Siena area, marked by the works of internationally renowned artists such as Loris Cecchini, Leandro Erlich, Giuseppe Gallo, Marzia Migliora, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Pietro Ruffo, Tomás Saraceno, Marinella Senatore and the collective Arachne Academy.

The works, integrating harmoniously with the vegetation of the park, with trees and plants, weave a dialogue rich in innovative ideas between the human being and the surrounding nature.

The Carlo Bilotti Museum is also part of the Back to Nature 2021 itinerary, which reopens to the public for the occasion with the exhibition Art and Nature. Works from the Capitoline collections of contemporary art, curated by Antonia Arconti, Ileana Pansino and Daniela Vasta. The exhibition offers a selection that spans a wide time span from the early decades of the twentieth century to the present day.

Back to Nature 2021 is promoted and produced by Roma Culture, the Capitoline Superintendence for Cultural Heritage with the organization of Zètema Progetto Cultura. Radio partner Dimensione Suono Soft.

The project makes use of the collaboration with the Santa Cecilia Conservatory of Music, promoter of the musical program that animates the event during the opening period, through weekend appointments.
