Toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain, contemplate the Colosseum and the Pantheon, and sample a perfect espresso or gelato before spending an afternoon shopping at the Campo de’Fiori or Via Veneto. Enjoy some of the most memorable meals of your life here, too, from fresh pasta to succulent fried artichokes or a tender oxtail stew.

MAC Maja Arte Contemporanea is located near Piazza Farnese and Campo dei Fiori. It was founded by Daina Maja Titonel who cares for the exhibition program, focusing mainly on paintings, as well as sculpture and photography, dealing with both the latest generation artists and Italian masters. Since 2006 she has organized numerous personal shows in a private space by appointments in parallel with a long training experience in the Campo dei Fiori gallery specializing in Italian art on horseback between the eighth and early twentieth centuries. The constant contact with works by these masters has refined her critical eye over the years, now seeking the same quality in contemporary artistic expressions.

Built in 1540 and updated/modenised in 1632, the palazzo was home to Cardinals and was purchased by the Italian government in 1926. It now houses a gallery with works by more than a dozen Italian artists. The highlight for me is just off the courtyard, where one of the residents, Cardinal Spada, in 1632 commissioned Baroque architect Francesco Borromini to create an optical illusion, a forced perspective illusion where a vista appears to show diminishing columns lining a gallery. the gallery appears to go for 10's of meters with a lifesize sculpture at the end of the gallery. The "gallery" is in fact only 8 meters long and the "life size" sculpture is just 600mm high. It really is amazing.
Tricromia Art Gallery was created in 1990; since then the gallery has hosted, discovered and promoted illustrators and designers, artists and sculptors with a love for the “simple” art of drawing but also with a light-hearted and playful spirit. Together with the artists it decides to “fix” the beauty of those drawings and designs in publications.
