The exhibition, which runs from 16 April and until 14 September 2025, aims to explore the dialogue between myth and sacredness through a selection of works from the collections of the Capitoline Superintendency in Rome.

“Precisely from the perspective of a secular enquiry, the exhibition unites the concept of myth with that of the sacred: a continuity that has embraced the spiritual history of mankind from its origins to the present day, in which mythological narratives, as well as religious ones, have often taken on metaphorical value to address the great universal questions about life, death, good, evil, love and hate.

The exhibition includes 26 works created with heterogeneous languages and materials – some in the form of large installations – in which, despite their diversity, it has been possible to identify formal or poetic assonances and to follow certain conceptual threads that we find throughout the exhibition: the classical myth (works by Ceroli and Gandolfi, which lead us as far as the works by de Chirico in the Bilotti Museum); the mythologisation of a family history (Fila); the temple (works by Pulvirenti, Piangiamore, Tesi, Roberts); the rituality of prayer or ceremonies (works by Quinn and Bonichi); birth, pain, death and resurrection, to which the figures of Mary and Christ are linked (works by Valeri, Fogli, Fazzini, Ceccobelli, Quinn, Wildt, Tato, Bonichi, C. Fontana, Verna); divinities, figures and mystical symbolism (Ceroli, Leoncillo, Cagli, Di Stasio, Ferrazzi, Mariani, Giorni, Rizzo).”
