CCR Walks: Rome off the beaten track - The Two Faces of Tufello - April 10, 2022

Our next CCR walk will delve into a little-known neighborhood which does not figure in any of Rome's guidebooks but nevertheless has become the subject of interest among its inhabitants, particularly Rome's graffiti artists. Join us as we explore its quirky "barocchetto" architecture (a type of architecture introduced to Rome in the 1920s which borrowed elements from the 1500s to the 1700s as well as the concept of garden cities) and investigate Italy's 20th century history and its contradictions, by looking at "two-faced Tufello."

When: Sunday, April 10, 2022
Time: 10 a.m. 
Meeting Place: Confirmed participants will be informed by email of the exact location.  
Cost: €10 for members and €15 for non-members. There will be an additional cost for radio transmitters to be advised.
RSVP: canadarome@gmail.com ATTN Joe by Wednesday, April 6, 2022. You are financially responsible for your reservation.

Gallery Aperitivo & Talk - April 7, 2022

The long history of classic Italian art history is renowned, but how much do you know about contemporary art in Italy? Francesco Zero will welcome us into his private art gallery for drinks and a talk on art movements from the post-WWII period to the present. He will address the fundamental question of "What is art?" in viewers' perceptions and reactions. Along with co-owner Pino Purificato, Francesco will also relate the works of other Italian figurative artists to those of Pino's father, Domenico Purificato, who was a prominent figure in Italian neorealist painting and film.

This talk will be in Italian, with consecutive translation into English or French as needed. Light refreshments will be served.

When: Thursday, April 7, 2022

Time: 6-8 p.m.

Where: Galleria Purificato Zero, Via Bisagno 11 (Piazza Istria/Corso Trieste metro)

Cost: Free.

RSVP to canadarome@gmail.com ATTN Marielle by noon on the 6th of April. Green Passes/Proof of vaccination will be checked and COVID-19 containment measures will be respected.
