The exhibition offers a comprehensive overview of the use of colored marble from its origins to the 20th century, drawing on selections from the Santarelli Foundation's collection. Over 660 precious Imperial-era colored marbles from the Capitoline Collection and the Dino and Ernesta Santarelli Foundation are on display in two halls of the Capitoline Museums' Palazzo Clementino, next to the Medal Gallery. The exhibition, on free loan for ten years, offers visitors a glimpse into the vast quantities of stone imported into Rome: a unique opportunity to trace the millennia of the city's history through shapes, colors, and patterns, from artistic, sociocultural, political, and economic perspectives. Indeed, the use of colored marble is a defining characteristic of Roman architecture during the Imperial era.
