Rome currently plays host to a landmark exhibition that delves into the very foundations of our artistic heritage. Until June 14, 2026, Palazzo Barberini presents a major exhibition dedicated to the genius of Gian Lorenzo Bernini, exploring his profound artistic, political, and personal partnership with his most influential patron: Maffeo Barberini, who ascended to the papal throne as Urban VIII. Curated by Andrea Bacchi and Maurizia Cicconi, this exhibition offers an unparalleled perspective on the aesthetic revolution of the Roman Baroque, coinciding with the four-hundredth anniversary of the consecration of St. Peter's Basilica. It is a rare opportunity to witness how the union of creative brilliance and papal ambition defined the enduring splendor of the Eternal City.
