Exhibition 'Crater 2016–2026. Stories of communities and reconstruction'

Terme di Diocleziano, Rome

November 11, 2026 – January 31, 2027

Museo Nazionale Romano 'Cratere 2016-2026'

Curated by Alfonsina Russo, Stefano Lanna, Alessio De Cristofaro, Federica Rinaldi and Gabriele Simongini.

To mark the tenth anniversary of the earthquake the exhibition presents the public with a reconstruction process that is still ongoing, in which cultural heritage, community and memory intertwine and look towards the future. It is not merely a narrative of the earthquake, but a space for reflection on the transformations currently taking place and on the prospects for rebirth, in which the languages of oral history, anthropology and contemporary art come together to form a collective, grassroots narrative inspired by the principles of the Faro Convention, in which the communities inheriting the legacy of the Crater take centre stage.

The project is organised by the Department for the Enhancement of Cultural Heritage (DiVa), the Olivetti Plan for Culture, the Central Institute for the Economic Enhancement and Promotion of Cultural Heritage (IC-VEPP) and the National Roman Museum, in collaboration with the 2016 Earthquake Commission of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers.
