From February 12 to June 14, 2026, Palazzo Barberini hosts the major exhibition: "Bernini e i Barberini." Curated by Andrea Bacchi and Maurizia Cicconi, the display is a crucial investigation into the artistic, political, and personal partnership between Gian Lorenzo Bernini and his first and most decisive patron, Maffeo Barberini, who ascended to the papal throne as Urban VIII.
This investigation offers a privileged perspective on the aesthetic revolution of the Roman Baroque, an affirmation of language that culminated in the consecration of the new St. Peter's Basilica (1626), an anniversary celebrated in coincidence with the event. We recommend taking advantage of the presale (starting December 4, 2025) to secure your entry to this fundamental fixture.
Palazzo Navona is your dynamic and central base for accessing this and other major cultural events in Rome with style, book now.
