Eternal City: Rome seen through the eyes of the Anglo-Saxon world

From June 28 to October 28 , 2018, the exhibition"Eternal City. Rome in the Photographic Collection of the Royal Institute of British Architects," curated by Gabriella Musto and Marco Iuliano in collaboration with Valeria Carullo, RIBA’s curator of the Robert Elwall Photographs Collection.

The exhibition, which is part of ArtCity, presents two hundred photographs in which the protagonist is the city of Rome between the mid-nineteenth century and the contemporary age. The shots on display come from the collection of the Royal Institute of British Architects in London.

Visitors will see Rome through the eyes of the Anglo-Saxon world in a sort of Grand Tour: the photographic journey will lead to architectural, urban planning, political, social and landscape reflections.
One will recognize in the shots the Spanish Steps of Trinità dei Monti, Via Condotti, the Forum, as well as the Monument to Victor Emmanuel II.

Some of the images in the Architectural Press Archive holdings are exclusively by British photographers-James Anderson, Tim Benton, Richard Bryant, Ralph Deakin, Ivy and Ivor de Wolfe, Richard Pare, Monica Pidgeon, and Edwin Smith.
