The Triennale di Arti Visive in Rome will take place at the “Musei di San Salvatore in Lauro” of the Pio Sodalizio dei Piceni – Piazza San Salvatore in Lauro, 15 – in the very heart of the historical centre, near Via dei Coronari and Piazza Navona. The “Musei di San Salvatore in Lauro”, located at one of the liveliest crossroads in Rome, is within easy walking distance of Castel Sant’Angelo, San Luigi dei Francesi and Palazzo Madama. Among the notable exhibitions held at the venue that will host the Triennale, we can mention: ‘Visions of the Grand Tour from the Hermitage’ promoted by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Cultural Activities, the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, the Pio Sodalizio dei Piceni and Cigno GG Edizioni; ‘Luciano Ventrone: The Victory of Painting with de Conciliis, Guccione and Guttuso’ organised by Cigno GG Edizioni; the exhibit on the 100th anniversary of the birth of the sculptor Francesco Messina, sponsored by the Committee for the Great Jubilee of the Year 2000, the École Française de Rome, the Chamber of Deputies and the Municipality of Rome.
Emilio Greco, Francesco Messina, Umberto Mastroianni, Tahar Ben Jelloun, and Mimmo Paladino are only a selection of the artists who have had and continue to have, an ongoing collaboration with the Monumental Complex of San Salvatore in Lauro, either through their own will or that of their heirs. Alongside the etching presses used by Marino Marini, Giacomo Manzù, Hans Hartung, Emilio Vedova, Matta, and Piero Guccione stand the works of Emilio Greco and Umberto Mastroianni as the exhibition venue features donations and permanent galleries of these illustrious international sculptors.

The main conceptual line of the exhibition intends to evoke the utopian tension and expressive freedom that permeates the philosophy of the prominent critic Harald Szeemann. The latter, proceeding from the romanticized biography proper to artists, transposed it as a basis for universal knowledge, paying attention to utopia, obsession and visionariness.
