The exhibition offers a comprehensive overview of the use of colored marble from its origins to the 20th century, drawing on selections from the Santarelli Foundation's collection. Over 660 precious Imperial-era colored marbles from the Capitoline Collection and the Dino and Ernesta Santarelli Foundation are on display in two halls of the Capitoline Museums' Palazzo Clementino, next to the Medal Gallery. The exhibition, on free loan for ten years, offers visitors a glimpse into the vast quantities of stone imported into Rome: a unique opportunity to trace the millennia of the city's history through shapes, colors, and patterns, from artistic, sociocultural, political, and economic perspectives. Indeed, the use of colored marble is a defining characteristic of Roman architecture during the Imperial era.

The Roma-Ostia Half Marathon (Italian: Roma Ostia Mezza Maratona or Maratonina Roma-Ostia) is an annual half marathon road running event which takes place in late February in Rome, Italy. The course begins in the EUR district of the city and follows a direct south-easterly route to the finish point near the beaches of Ostia.It is Italy’s most popular half marathon, with a record 12,000 entries and 9,485 finishers in 2011. The course has a point-to-point format and as a result it some editions have had an overall downhill drop, as well as athlete-assisting tailwinds. Due to these factors, some performances have been ineligible for personal bests or records.

Easter is one of the oldest and most meaningful Christian festivals. It is a festival to celebrate the resurrection of Christ, and Christians around the world celebrate it every year.

This site-specific stencil poster work, titled "Rinascita," was created for the walls of the Cloister Gardens in collaboration with the Wunderkammern Gallery. A series of murals, contrasting with the exterior banners, adorns the facade of the Piacentini Pavilion, adjacent to the GAM entrance. This contemporary symbol of the historic city, also designed by StenLex, is themed "Rebirth." After all, rebirth, as renewal and regeneration, is one of the ideal themes explored by the stencil poster pioneer StenLex, making him one of the most internationally renowned Italian muralists.

After approximately two years of meticulous restoration by technicians from the Rome Cultural Centre (ICR), Venanzo Crocchetti's sculpture has returned to the National Gallery in Rome. Acquired by the City of Rome in 1960 after the VIII Quadrennial of National Art in Rome, the work is one of Crocchetti's first large-scale sculptures dedicated to the theme of dance. The theme of dance, which had appeared in several of Crocchetti's sketches since the 1940s and became a recurring theme in his work from the late 1950s onward, became a defining theme for many figurative sculptors of the late 20th century. This exhibition is the result of a long-term collaborative effort between public and private institutions to best showcase works from the Capitoline Collection.
