Rome's cultural calendar is set to be enhanced by a global event: Palazzo Cipolla hosts "Picasso the Foreigner" until June 29, 2025. This exhibition, produced in collaboration with world-renowned institutions like the Musée national Picasso-Paris, redefines the identity of the 20th-century master through the lens of his difficult status as an immigrant and foreigner.
The show follows the aesthetic and political trajectory of Pablo Picasso, illuminating how he shaped his artistic revolutions despite never obtaining French citizenship. A crucial focus is dedicated to the Roman spring of 1917, spent with Jean Cocteau, Erik Satie, and Serge de Diaghilev. This period, as emphasized by curator Annie Cohen-Solal, was a historic moment of rebirth for the artist following the confiscation of his Cubist works.
The exhibition pathway, curated by Annie Cohen-Solal, presents over 100 works by the artist, alongside documents, photographs, and a core of unprecedented pieces selected exclusively for Palazzo Cipolla.
For those seeking a cultural immersion that unites art, history, and design, Palazzo Navona offers the perfect urban sanctuary. Our central location allows you easy access to Palazzo Cipolla, transforming your visit to the Picasso exhibition into an exclusive stay.
