One of the main characters of the lecture was Pope Sixtus V and his court architect Domenico Fontana, to whom Rome owes not only new streets and individual buildings, but also a whole system of dominants — obelisks and fountains that organize the viewer's gaze and movement in this huge city-theater. Elizaveta Likhacheva is the director of the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts, an art critic, an architectural historian, a specialist in early Italian Baroque architecture, and the curator of the exhibition "Three Times of Rome. Antiquity. Renaissance. Baroque". 📍 Friends, we remind you that on September 10 at 6:00 pm in the Italian Courtyard there will be a presentation of the catalogue for the exhibition "Three Times of Rome. Antiquity. Renaissance. Baroque". Everyone will have the opportunity to talk to Elizaveta Likhacheva and other authors of the catalogue, Maxim Atayanets and Vasily Uspensky, and sign the editions.
