ABARoma, Via di Ripetta 222, Roma

Ripetta 222 involves Italian and international artists and takes place in the historic building of Via di Ripetta, headquarters of the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, which has a very long story to tell. With this project, its walls become the protagonists of the research of the artists, who have personally chosen the spaces where they will carry out their performances, taking inspiration from Thomas Mann's novel The Buddenbrooks, where the story of a nineteenth-century family is told through the historic home of the lineage.

To carry out their narrative, some artists consulted historical archives, for others the suggestion came from the particularity of the interior spaces, from the large rooms marked by impressive sculptures to the smaller classrooms.

Ripetta 222 offers a dense program that includes fourteen performances over four days, with constant changes of scenery and all artists present in the spaces of Via Ripetta.
