"Roma Silenziosa Bellezza" Project
The "Roma Silenziosa Bellezza" exhibition: VIVE - Vittoriano e Palazzo Venezia - from January 20 to April 11, 2023
The unique images of Rome, as never seen before, protagonists of the Webuild book and of the exhibition organized by the VIVE - Vittoriano e Palazzo Venezia institute
An immersive multimedia journey accompanied by video mapping on Palazzo Venezia façade
The exhibit was inaugurated by Webuild Chief Executive Pietro Salini and VIVE Director Edith Gabrielli.
With images taken by photographer Moreno Maggi during the months of lockdown in 2020, this free exhibit presents the public a Rome that is different from how it is used to living and seeing it. It shows a city that is extraordinarily beautiful in the silence of those months. By showing public places that are normally filled with traffic and people, they present the city in its truest, immutable self, ready to host important international events in the coming years.
The exhibit, curated by Roberto Koch and Alessandra Mauro, is a journey enriched by photos, videos, and multimedia projections, enabling visitors to discover a new way of living in harmony. They offer an emotional and intellectual tour, during which visitors can contemplate the importance of being part of a community.
January 15 - Palazzo Venezia, in Rome, shines with the photos of the "Roma Silenziosa Bellezza"
The squares and roads of the Eternal City and its famous statues, appear under a different light. We will discover a deserted city where "silence has a voice", as we journey in a beautiful Rome, as it has never been seen before.
The videomapping alternates a selection of previously unpublished photos of the Italian capital, with games of light enveloping Palazzo Venezia with special effects, from 6.30 p.m. to 11.30 p.m. The videomapping and the exhibition are part of the overall project named "ROMA SILENZIOSA BELLEZZA”, with photos shot during the months of lockdown in 2020.

The Book "Roma Silenziosa Bellezza"
The book will be sold in Italy starting at the end of March 2023. It shows Rome during the lockdown months, in a dimension that is not solely that of an ancient urban space full of history and beauty. But also as an urban network that seems to be free, full of possible new interpretations, like the texts in book written by Pietro Salini, Claudio Strinati and philosopher Massimo Recalcati make known.
From Piazza Venezia (Rome’s city centre) to Castel Sant'Angelo, the stronghold of the military defence of the Catholic Church, up to Piazza del Popolo, an architectural and urban masterpiece; from the Ancient Rome of the Palatin Hill to the EUR (the area destined to host the Universal Exposition of 1942), the book's images tell, by comparison, about the various eras of Rome, during the months of Spring 2020. A dimension that restarted the debate over the themes connected to a liveable city, urban landscape, and mobility, to rethink about the needs of the communities in sustainable terms, from the city centres to their suburbs.

Rome Silent Beauty - Webuild
A deserted Rome: Beautiful memories.
A sleeping city. A city that comes from the past to leave us with a new vision of the future
“The absence of people and the void created by the lockdown brought to life, once again, topics connected to urban liveability, urban landscape, and mobility. We must make the most of this epochal change to completely rethink our environments and infrastructure, starting from the needs of our communities, in a new way of seeing sustainability, from urban centres to the suburbs. This volume is botn form the desire to meet this particular moment of a sleeping city and to exalt Rome's soul, documenting and telling of this void experience created by the Covid-19 epidemic, also beginning to think about new things that we expect in the future”.
