Tactile experience at Palazzo Venezia: the Lapidarium

This visit takes you to the upper loggia of Pope Paul II’s secret garden for a special journey through the Lapidarium of Palazzo Venezia. The Lapidarium features over one hundred marble works — from the Classical period to the Renaissance — many of which were unearthed in the early 20th century right in the area of Piazza Venezia. Through a tactile experience, visitors will explore the history of these marbles - from from their discovery until their arrival at Palazzo Venezia – their forms and ornamentation within an engaging and immersive narrative. This tour is developed in collaboration with the Italian Union of the Blind and Visually Impaired (UICI), reflecting VIVE’s ongoing commitment to accessibility and inclusion.
