extra MAXXI Exhibition - Sveva Caetani: Forma e Frammento - 3 Oct. 2025 to 04 Jan. 2026
A project that reconstructs and deconstructs the artist’s figure, revealing a rebellious and radiant soul suspended between her deep roots and an urgent creative drive. Her artistic and personal journey finds its ultimate expression in Recapitulation, a series of paintings that symbolically narrate the history of her family and her spiritual path, profoundly influenced by her father.
The daughter of Leone Caetani, Prince of Teano and Duke of Sermoneta, Sveva Caetani (Rome, 1917 – Vernon, Canada, 1994) spent her life in Vernon, BC, where her family settled after her father chose to emigrate with his second partner, Ofelia Fabiani. Following her father’s death in 1935 and the hardships faced by her mother, Sveva experienced a long period of various forms of isolation until 1960.
The result of a collaboration between various Italian and international institutions, the project also features works by Carlo Benvenuto (Stresa, Italy, 1966) and Houda Kabbaj (Casablanca, Morocco, 1985), created specifically for the occasion.

Scottish Country Dancing Group
The Scottish Country Dancing in Rome group is looking to recruit new members of all ages. This is an excellent way to keep fit, make friends and, more importantly, have fun. It is performed in sets (very social) and a lot of the figures in the various dances are the same. Classes will encourage you to improve in a friendly environment and at a relaxed pace. Beginners are very welcome and will be helped. You don’t need to bring a partner and there is no specific dress code, although soft shoes are preferable and trainers are suitable to get you started. The group also has a laugh, especially when “deviating” from the instructions, and has a short break for a drink, nibbles and a chat!
The group meets every Wednesday from 9 to 10:30 p.m., typically from October through May at St Andrew's Church, which is located in the centre of Rome, at Via Venti Settembre 7.
