Posted in Exhibitions in Rome and surroundings - July 22nd, 2010
From August 21st to October 23rd 2010 in Rome some archeological monuments will be opened to the public for the first time from their discovering dates.

From August 21st new archeological areas will be opened to the public access in Rome: Livia’s House in Palatino and Romolo’s Temple in Foro Romano.

Now the house is below the ground level but it is still preserving his original structure and some wonderful frescos: the tablino central kiosk represent Io, loved by Zeus, rescued from Argo by Mercury. On the kiosk’s left side we can see a fresco representing a window looking at everyday life scenes and finally on the central wall the Nymph Galatea on a see horse flying away from Polifemo. Other wonderful Egyptian and Roman decoration enriched this unbelievable find. (more…)
