An exhibition that marks the debut of contemporary art at the Quirinale.
For the first time in its history, the historic Palace of the Presidency of the Republic will host from October 24th to December 17th the exhibition 'From Me to Us: cities without borders'.
The exhibition is promoted by the Directorate General for Contemporary Art and Architecture of the Italian Culture's Minister and the Secretariat of the Presidency of the Republic, curated by Anna Mattirolo.
Set up in the 10 historical halls of Alessandro VII Chigi's Apartments, the works of 22 Italian and international artists, but resident or often active in our country.

The artworks (paintings, sculptures, photographs, videos and installations) present different visions of contemporary metropolis, without borders and without center, emphasizing the potentialities that animate these places in the contemporary perspective and paying particular attention to the concept of periphery.
A reflection that starts with a double look, individual and collective condition.
Artistic research is the result of the collaboration of a scientific committee, composed by Vincenzo de Bellis, Carolina Italiano, Luca Molinari, Chiara Parisi, Andrea Segre, Esmeralda Valente, and the graphic design is of Nero.
"This exhibition event - commented Federica Galloni, General Manager of Art and Contemporary Architecture and Urban Peripherals - is an ambitious project with multiple goals: to return, through a selection of works, an artistic panorama of excellence that tells the various interpretations of the theme; to advise the citizen with visual, sound, or tactile messages for greater respect for oneself, for the other, and for the space we are living, reinforcing our trust in the institutions. "
