Artists and writers for the 500th anniversary of Orlando Furioso

The Arcadia Auction House is pleased to host 'Galà Furioso',
evening promoted and organised by Viva. A magazine in the flesh to celebrate the 500th anniversary of Ariosto's literary masterpiece.

Some of the most important and representative writers, artists, musicians and actors on the Roman and national scene will be invited to speak.

In the large and luminous hall of Palazzo Celsi Viscardi, home of the auction house, the atmosphere of a real gala will be reconstructed, in which guests will be able to attend literary interventions, declamations of verses extracted from the poem or inspired by it, short concerts and theatrical sketches. Next to the salon, in the evocative gallery frescoed by Pannini, twenty-three artists will exhibit their works, specially created for the occasion and inspired by Orlando Furioso.

The exhibition will be open to visitors
Monday to Friday until 21 December
(ore 10.00-13.00 / 15.00-19.00).
