40 years after the first Basilica of Maxentius event
MAXXI reprising the Estate Romana
An opportunity for debate with some of the protagonists and followers of that season, commemorating how at the beginning of that summer in 1977, the urban landscape of Rome changed suddenly, transforming by some strange enchantment into a sequence of places in which film, poetry, art and music set the scene for a collective public and participatory “street” experience.
Since then and for many years that followed, the Estate Romana has nourished the idea of ephemeral architecture as a means of transforming the city
Nicolini’s project mobilized the finest creative youth of the time and soon managed to change perception of urban public space through non-permanent architecture and through the public nature of the arts.
