Evidence of trade between the Greek islands and the eastern shores of the Mediterranean in a particularly interesting period for the formation of Greek figurative culture.

This exhibition analyses the life and times of the animal which symbolises the city of Rome, from the period of antiquity to the modern age, and presents conclusions drawn from the restoration programme.

The new arrangement for the Palazzo dei Conservatori has a modern architectural note to it thanks to the great glass hall where the equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius is now situated together with the imposing remains of the temple to Capitoline Jupiter and other items from recent excavations; the Campidoglio also hosts once again the sculptures of the roman Horti and the Castellani collection of Greek and Etruscan vases.
