ARA PACIS MUSEUM






The Ara Pacis is the first work of architecture built in the historic center of Rome since the fall of the Fascist era. The space was designed by Richard Meier & Partners Architects, author of some of the most important museums of the second half of the twentieth century.The Ara Pacis is one of the finest examples of classical art. Its construction was passed by the Senate in 13 BC to honor the return of Augustus from the provinces of Gaul and Spain, where over three years the Emperor had consolidated the power of Rome and its staff, a trailblazer, founded colonies. The altar was built along the Via Flaminia, the northern boundary of the Campus Martius, but the nature of the flood and the flood of the Tiber, by depositing layers of silt over the area, soon led to the burial Altar, of which memory is completely lost. The reconstruction of the monument was decided in view of the anniversary, in 1937/8, the two thousandth anniversary of the birth of Augustus.Entrusted archaeologist Giuseppe Moretti, it was physically realized in the summer of 1938 in Hall of Ripetta, built in haste from a project architect Ballio Morpurgo.Settled along the Tiber, the Ara Pacis risked being compromised by the inadequacy of its container, which could not be isolated from traffic, exhaust, overheating, moisture rising from the dust and then fatty acid that is deposited and on its marbles and the plaster.The new museum complex has therefore been designed in view of conservation of the monument, both from the environmental point of view both in the earthquake-proof system.

MACRO Museo d'Arte Contemporanea Roma









The MACRO - Museum of Contemporary Art of Rome - was created by the reorganization of the Capitoline structures delegated to the promotion of contemporary art. It 'has two locations: the former factory, Peroni, designed at the beginning of the twentieth century by Gustavo Giovannoni, one of the few examples of industrial archeology in the capital, which until 1971 housed the production activities of Peroni Beer Company. In 1999 he completed the first phase of the renovation and conversion of the site, which has seen the recovery of the main building consists of two buildings connected by a parallel construction that corresponds to the input statement. The completion of the work was assigned to the project by Odile Decq Sensual Territories, following an international competition held by the City of Rome in 2000. The other seat is located in two halls of the building complex of the former slaughterhouse in Testaccio, built between 1888 and 1891 by architect Joachim Ersoch.On December 3, 2010 the city opened the new architecture of Odile Decq, winner of the 2001 international competition organized by the City of Rome 's "Expansion of Macro, Museum of Contemporary Art in Rome." The result of a project that violates the traditional approach of integration between old and new in a historical context, the new wing fits naturally into the existing structure and, at the same time, redefining the entire morphology and perception of the museum. For the realization of the architectural, technical and procedural coordination was managed by the Historic City Planning dell'Assessorato, while the administration was prepared by the Superintendent of Cultural Capital of Rome. The management of the work was followed by Zètema Culture Project, a company which also operates the museum services.

With the inauguration of the new spaces, MACRO redesigns its geography and location is confirmed as popular image and map of the contemporary ideal of a constellation. The new and unique entrance to the Museum, located on the corner of Via Nizza and via Cagliari, marks the entry of the art architecture, an entire city block featuring an exhibition area now tripled (4350 sq.m), plus the new areas for services and the public: the large terrace, conference room, library, restaurant, cafeteria, parking, and the educational area, reaching a total area of ​​19,590 square meters, including the underground parking garage of 161 parking spaces, which will also be used by residents of the neighborhood.The dynamic and sinuous forms of the new structure, perfectly integrated into the existing context, create now a sensual and luminous landscape in which the different contemporary languages ​​find their natural space. This establishes a system in which the new construction contaminates the elements that surround it, and the all-conquering complex and seductive transparency.For other areas of the new wing have been chosen instead of emblematic works of the contemporary diversity in a production that, through contrasts and similarities, is built around the theme of man. Paintings, sculptures, installations, video and photographs from the permanent collection of the MACRO - the product of innovative gratuitous loans and donations - that highlight the versatility and potential of architecture of the Museum, as well as future directions of the exhibition program. Some of these works will be attending the MACRO thanks to the collaboration with UniCredit, whose partner is also important to permanent installation by Daniel Buren.
