Learn about the use of colored marble, from its origins to the twentieth century, through a fine selection of pieces from the Santarelli Foundation. In the first room, there are 82 polychrome fragments, a head of Dionysus mounted on a female bust, and much more.
A documentary, curated by Adriano Aymonino and Silvia Davoli, is also projected, tracing the history of these materials as a part of the expansion policy of the Roman empire.
