Exhibitions
The exhibition, organized on the occasion of the celebration of 90 years of friendship between the Knights of Columbus and the city of Rome, traces through photographs, portraits, documents and newspaper articles, the history of the Catholic mutual aid society “Knights of Columbus”, which was founded on October 2 1881 by Father Michael J. McGivney.
The five-year project “I Giorni di Roma” (The Days of Rome) opens with a great exhibition of masterpieces of ancient art, coming from the most important European museums, and dating back to the period following the conquest campaigns in Greece (from the end of III century BC to the second half of the 1st century BC). This was one of the most crucial periods for the future cultural and artistic identity of Rome, not only in the Republican age.
