July

Let’s start our journey in July, when the famous “Arena di Verona Lyric Festival will take place from July 6th to September 9th. It is a highly anticipated event that takes place in the ancient Roman amphitheater of Verona and features high-quality opera performances.

Many famous names from the international and national music scene will perform live at the Capannelle Racetrack, the Ennio Morricone Auditorium Parco della Musica, the Roman Theater of Ostia Antica, and the Circus Maximus.

August

We move on to August, the month of vacations par excellence. But if you want to do something different from the usual beach, I recommend participating in the BIENNALE ARCHITETTURA 202318th INTERNATIONAL ARCHITECTURE EXHIBITION, one of the most important cultural events in the world. The exhibition, which will be held in Venice from 20.05 to 26.11 2023, will present the works of artists from all over the world, selected by the exhibition’s curator.

Starting from June 2nd, in Florence, thousands of events including music, literature, theater, dance, cinema and much more will take place outdoors at the Florence Summer Festival. The 2023 edition will start on June 2nd and continue until September 21st.

Always in Florence, at the Cathedral of the Image – Ex Santo Stefano al Ponte Museum, we recommend the Inside Banksy exhibition. An immersive event that tells the creative journey of Banksy, one of the most revolutionary artists in the world of street art, through sounds, images, lights, and evocative music of Bristol’s underground culture that will envelop the audience in a multisensory experience.
Santo Stefano Square, 5 Florence, until Sun 1 Oct 2023.

September

In September, and staying in Venice, it is worth visiting the Photographic Treasures of the 20th Century at Palazzo Grassi, Venice.
This world premiere is dedicated to masterpieces from the Condé Nast archives. Spanning the century from the 1910s to the early 1980s, this exhibition offers the works of over 150 international artists who defined the photographic and artistic aesthetic of the time through Condé Nast magazines (Vogue, Vanity Fair, House & Garden, Glamour, GQ…). From March 12, 2023 to January 7, 2024.

October

If you can visit the Capital city, in October there’s the Rome Film Festival 2023. Starting on Wednesday, October 18th and Ending on Sunday, October 29th. Taking place in various locations around the city of Rome.

In Rome, at the Infantry Museum, an extraordinary monographic exhibition titled “Andy Warhol – Warhol Universe” is opening, dedicated to the renowned master of international Pop Art, Andy Warhol.

Curated by the famous art critic Achille Bonito Oliva, this exhibition showcases over 170 works, taking visitors on a journey through the artistic career of this creative genius who brought vibrancy to the monotony of 20th-century America, pushing beyond the boundaries of a rapidly globalizing world.
The exhibition is organized into large thematic areas. It begins with Warhol’s early days as a graphic artist, exploring his experiments in the 1940s and 1950s within the music realm, where he created portraits of famous Rock Stars of the time. The exhibition then delves into his precious silk-screen prints featuring icons from the entertainment world, porcelain pieces adorned with gold, Polaroids capturing prominent celebrities, and culminating in his more recent works, such as images dedicated to the magazine Interview, commercial posters, and photographs tied to the documentary “Trash – The Garbage of New York.”
